Burnaby Integrated Family Program:
Intensive counselling helps families stay together or reunite after separation.

JustKids:
Aimed at mitigating the long-term negative impacts of parental incarceration through an umbrella of programs, educational initiatives, and research.

Am’ut Aboriginal Youth Program:
Am’ut is a culture-based, full-time attendance program helping aboriginal girls change the direction of their lives by learning to make healthy choices and develop new skills.

Bursaries:
Provided to buy youth and children of single-parent families equipment and experiences they could not otherwise afford.

Growing Great Kids:
Growing Great Kids is an empathy-based, curriculum-led parenting program for new and expecting mothers that covers complex concepts such as secure attachments, parental empathy, brain science and solution-focused skill-building strategies into easily understood highly interactive modules.

Christmas Program:
EFry brings the holidays to nearly 2,000 people each year through our Christmas dinner, JustKids lunch with Santa and in-prison celebrations.

Spring and Summer Camps:
During spring and summer school breaks, EFry welcomes children six through 15 at week-long Blue Sky overnight camps. Children enjoy a typical camp experience while specially trained counsellors help them develop vital coping, leadership and teambuilding and conflict management skills.

Camp Counsellor Training and Employment Program:
Children ageing out of Blue Sky Summer Camp are provided with the opportunity to receive job training and employment as camp counsellors. This provides older teens with valuable job experience and income, as well as support continuity for themselves and positive role modelling for younger campers.

Saturday Club:
When Blue Sky Camps are not in session, children aged six to 15 enjoy day-long supporting activity programs similar to a day camp.

Caregiver Support Group:
Provides resources and an online community for caregivers raising children with an incarcerated parent. Contact caregiverhelp@elizabethfry.com for more information.

Sheena’s Place & Elizabeth Gurney House:
Operate shelters for homeless women and their children. Offers a safe, supportive environment for families without resources. In a home-like setting, the shelters provide daily necessities, crisis intervention, addiction, and debt counselling, and support in accessing low-income housing.
