For You Telecare Family Service (FUTFS) assists individuals and families from all walks of life to overcome cultural, emotional, and psychological barriers through a wide range of counselling and educational services and programs. In collaboration with other social service organizations, FUTFS raises awareness of social issues and supports clients in the community through the progression of a healthy lifestyle and gradual integration into Canadian society.

Annual General Meeting

The For You Telecare Family Service will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Saturday, September 18th from 11 am to 2 pm. Our organization's mission and goals will be presented as well as the programs previously done in the past and upcoming projects will also be introduced. In particular, presentations by the participants, who attended the previous Advanced Volunteer Training Program, will be taking place. We encourage your active participation to continuously support our organization that helps Korean immigrants to settle down and to overcome difficulties.

Family Fun Day Event

The Family Fun day is a fundraising event hosted by FUFTS every year. It is a community event where several families gather together to participate in recreational activities and projects, and celebrate and promote the value of family interrelationships. This event will be targeted for individuals in the Korean-Canadian community, but more importantly, the Canadian society at large. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been present since March 2020, this event was not held last year as well as this year, in 2021. This Family Funday will be a time for all individuals in families, from children to the elderly, to gather together, forget about the hardships and difficulties caused by COVID-19, and act unitedly to promote mental and physical well being, and create brand new experiences filled with joy.

Counselling Education & Volunteering Training Program

The For You Telecare Family Service will be holding it’s the 37th Counselling Education Volunteer Training Program From
October 7th for 8 weeks. We acquire the appropriate counseling concept and the ideas of volunteerism as being aware in
our daily life through various lecturers and topics, discussing and sharing with small groups, and applying our knowledge not only to FUTFS, but also to the practices of daily life, to Canadian society, and to those who really need help. This provides opportunities to gain skills and experiences on how to communicate well, have good relationships and how to practice volunteering work.
