Family Coach

Be a Family Coach

You play a vital role as a Family Coach, walking alongside parents in crisis and helping them move toward stability and hope.

As a Family Coach, you will:

Support, Safeguard, and Strengthen

  • Support the Host Family, ensuring they have the resources needed to provide a safe, nurturing environment.
  • Safeguard each child by assessing safety within 48 hours of placement and continuing weekly check-ins for at least a month.
  • Strengthen families in need by connecting them with community resources and helping coordinate appointments.
  • Steward healthy relationships by facilitating connection between the Host Family and the family in need with compassion and empathy.

Listen, Lead, and Lift

  • Listen attentively, creating space for Host Families and families in need to share openly and feel heard.
  • Lead with clarity by managing expectations and guiding both families through challenges with wisdom and care.
  • Lift others through empathy, reassurance, and practical support—offering hope, problem-solving alongside community resources, and a calm, steady presence in stressful situations.

Mission Statement

Safe Families Canada is creating a world where children are safe, and families are together.  With over 300,000 children and youth in Canada living in vulnerable families and at risk of abuse and neglect, SFC is on a mission to transform families and ensure that no family will face a crisis alone. Volunteers, known as the Circle of Support, are motivated to practice biblical hospitality, disruptive generosity and compassion fuelled by mercy.  Host Families, Family Friends, Family Coaches and Resource Friends support families in crisis while they get back on their feet.
