Relationship Advocacy Support Program (Thriving Relationships Workshops)

The Cause

TheMarriageAdvocates Canada is dedicated to helping relationships flourish by offering training, support, and guidance. We run programs that equip individuals and couples with the essential skills needed to foster healthy relationships, with a special focus on mentorship for couples within the immigrant community. Our efforts include preventative strategies to assist couples whose relationships are at risk of turning harmful or abusive. Through our community outreach, we raise awareness about the traumas and stressors that can undermine relationships and connect new immigrants with services and networks that support their well-being and help them build strong connections within their new communities

Who Will it Benefit?

This program is designed to benefit the immigrant community by offering comprehensive support to both parents and children. While parents attend our Thriving Relationships Workshops to learn essential skills for building and maintaining healthy relationships, their children are well taken care of in a safe and nurturing environment.
We understand that finding reliable childcare can be a challenge for many families, particularly within immigrant communities. By providing this service, we remove a significant barrier to participation, allowing parents to fully engage in learning without the worry of arranging care for their children.
While the parents are gaining valuable insights into effective communication, conflict resolution, and other relationship-building strategies, their children are also benefiting. Through interactive activities, children are introduced to concepts like empathy, cooperation, and positive social interactions. This helps foster the same values being taught to their parents, ensuring that healthy relationship practices are reinforced across the entire family.
The program not only supports the immediate needs of immigrant families but also lays the groundwork for long-term success by promoting emotional well-being and resilience. Parents can focus on learning and growing, confident that their children are in good hands, and by doing so, they are creating a more stable and loving home environment for their families.
By investing in both parents and children, this program helps build stronger families and, in turn, strengthens the broader immigrant community. The impact of this initiative will have lasting effects, helping to reduce conflict, improve family dynamics, and contribute to the overall well-being of immigrant families for generations to come.
