Strongest Families Institute (SFI) is a not-for-profit corporation providing evidence-based services to children, youth and families seeking help for mental health and/or behavioural issues impacting health and well-being.
Strongest Families provide timely care to families by teaching skills through our unique distance coaching approach – supporting families over the phone and Internet in the comfort and privacy of their own home. They provide family-centered care that is customized to meet each family’s unique needs.
