When Talking To Your Own Child Feels Like Negotiating With A Stranger.

Stop · Evaluate · Reassess · Follow Through

I work with Black families and families of colour whose children are 7 to 25 — on behaviour, communication, and standing with you when the school isn't listening. 25+ years. On your schedule, not a 9-to-5.

One family. One plan.

What I fix

You've already tried everything.
That's usually why families call me.

You're not failing. You're stuck in a pattern nobody taught you how to break — and it doesn't come apart on its own. Here's what I'm hired to change:

If you recognized your house in that list — that's my work.

Who I work with

Ages 7 to 25 — and the whole house

Not just the child. The parent who's out of ideas, the sibling nobody's asking about, the teacher who keeps calling, the young adult who stopped explaining himself.

Ages 7–12

Behaviour at home and at school, big feelings, and a parent being treated as the problem.

Ages 13–17

The silence, the arguments, the phone, the curfew, and the school meetings.

Ages 18–25

Grown, often still at home, no plan — and no roadmap for what parenting looks like now.

The S.E.R.F.™ Method

A framework built from 25 years of real-world experience

S

Stop

Pause the cycle. Recognize that something needs to change before real progress can begin.

E

Evaluate

Understand what's really happening — in the home, in the school, and within the family dynamic.

R

Reassess

Build a personalized plan of care that addresses your child's unique needs and your family's goals.

F

Follow Through

Implement with consistent support — weekly check-ins, coaching, and aftercare to make change last.

About Kerry Wilson

I've walked this road. I know the way forward.

Kerry knows this journey personally. She has walked the road of raising children alone, navigating systems that weren't built for families like hers — and finding a way through. That lived experience, combined with over 25 years of professional expertise as a Child & Youth Worker, is what makes SERF different.

"Whatever path you choose, SERF will be there to guide you back."

Kerry founded S.E.R.F. Your Life® to fill a gap no one else was filling — practical, hands-on, flexible support for Black families and families of color who need more than a 9-to-5 service.

What makes Kerry different
What We Offer

Comprehensive support for your whole family

Every service below is delivered through an anti-racist lens. That isn't a workshop I add on — it's how I read a classroom, a suspension, a diagnosis, and a plan of care. Families of colour don't get treated the same by the systems around them, and I don't pretend otherwise in the room.

In-Home Behavioural Support

Kerry visits your home, observes your family dynamic, and creates a personalized plan of care to address behavioural challenges at the root.

Virtual Coaching

Access Kerry's expertise from anywhere in the world via secure video sessions — flexible scheduling, same powerful results.

School Advocacy

Kerry attends IEP and IPRC meetings with you, records key points, debriefs afterward, and helps you navigate the school system with confidence.

Life Skills Programs

Custom workshops covering self-esteem, conflict resolution, goal setting, and relationship management for youth and families.

Agency Consulting

Partner with Kerry to assess and strengthen your organization's programs, staff training, and engagement strategies for the families you serve.

Speaking Engagements

Kerry is available for speaking engagements, workshops and panel discussions. Contact her to discuss availability and topics.

Aftercare Support
