We’re pleased to share an important update about the Nobody’s Perfect Parenting (NPP) program.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is transitioning national coordination of NPP to Families Canada. Families Canada will take on responsibility for national licensing, governance, training oversight, and long-term stewardship of the program.

Thank you to the Government of Canada for providing transitional funding to support this work.

Families Canada is committed to:

​​✅​ Ensuring continuity of the program
​✅​ Strengthening national coordination and partnerships
​✅​ Centralizing resources and information
​✅​ Maintaining the quality and integrity of NPP
