Alicia's Story
Parent Testimonials
“I have been able to go to work consistently with the help I am getting and taking care of my sick partner. My family is practicing more consistency with the routines and was able to have better sleep. Children are now more sociable and there are changes in behavior too. I would have lost my job, Instead, I got promoted and my relationship is secure.”
Nothing I have to offer, but I am pleased & happy that I have someone to talk to in my motherhood journey in this country where I don't have anyone to call friend or family. Thank you for this program.
In 2024, Norwood Child and Family Resource Centre staff made over 9,000 referrals for our families to community supports for basic needs such as food, affordable housing, clothing, and furniture.
What your money does:
"Without family, Norwood has become our home away from home. The girls have grown so much with their confident, social skills and the bonds with numerous support staff that is so sweet to watch."

"Our family has began to THRIVE because of Norwood. We were in survival mode for awhile. I recommend Norwood whenever someone asks about family resources."

"Norwood is big part of mine and my sons life. We plan our week around playgroups we want to attend. We have made so many life long friends at the groups we have attended. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly and my son just loves telling them about his day and showing off new things he learned. He also can't go anywhere without telling everyone he meets about Norwood Centre and their awesome groups and toy rooms, especially the trains."

"When we came to Norwood we were really struggling. After being able to use respite and meet with staff, we feel much less stressed and more confident in our parenting. Our daughter has learned so much."

"My husband and I are not originally from here so we don't have any support spent the last four years of parenthood isolated and personally feeling like we were drowning. This program and staff are amazing are so hands on, respectful, and caring. Since being involved our kids are learning tons of new things but most importantly having fun. My husband and I have few hours a week for appointments we're catching up on and really getting to spend some much needed time together and our kids have space to miss us."
