Brighter Futures is a Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) which provides programming for families with children 0-6 years. This program is offered in communities throughout the NEOFACS service area. The Brighter Futures programs operate in partnership with other services and organizations in their respective communities. The population served includes families who are at risk due to isolation, social or economic status, health or age. Programs include teen prenatal, transition to teen parenting and teen parenting groups, playgroups, lending libraries and collective kitchens.
The Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) provides funding for the Special Delivery/Prenatal Nutrition Program.
Young Families Program (Timmins and Kirkland Lake)
