Positive Parenting Videos
MCFD, the Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby school districts and community partners, S.U.C.C.E.S.S., Mosaic and the South Vancouver Neighbourhood House are partners in the creation of Understanding Positive Parenting and the Role of the Ministry of Children and Family Development, a new video project aimed at supporting and strengthening BC’s immigrant and refugee communities.
Currently available in Mandarin with English subtitles, and Cantonese, Korean and Vietnamese dubs with English subtitles, the culturally appropriate videos look at the challenges faced by immigrant families as they navigate a new culture, new societal rules – and, in some cases, a growing communication gap between parents and children. The videos seek to ‘demystify’ the ministry, explain child protection and family support, and offer clear information about the wide range of programs and services available, including those for children and youth with special needs or mental health challenges, and their families.
