About Us
Learning Together
With our central reference hub located in Westlock, designed for rural Alberta, together we offer assistance to families wanting to build strengths and develop strong familial units. We provide opportunity for caregiver education and other programming focusing on child development, asset building, parenting, and strengthening family bonds.
Our home visitation program provides one on one parenting strategies to promote positive parent-child relationships, increase parenting knowledge and skills, foster healthy pregnancies and child development, help families identify and access formal and informal supports and services, assist in the identification and pursuit of family goals
We work collaboratively with families to build caregiver confidence in their ability to meet their children's needs. Supports may focus on healthy relationships, attachment, and positive discipline, mentoring, life skills, and child development.

WHAT IS A FAMILY RESOURCE NETWORK?
Provincial Family Resource Networks (FRNs) deliver high quality prevention and early intervention services and supports for children aged 0 to 18.
Networks provide a range of services and supports that focus on strengthening parenting and caregiving knowledge, social support, coping and problem-solving skills, access to community supports and resources, improving child and youth development, building resiliency and fostering well-being.
Through a ‘hub and spoke’ model of service delivery, Networks (hubs) will coordinate the prevention and early intervention services in all geographic areas and in various cultural communities across the province – either directly or through collaborative partnerships with qualified service agencies or providers (spokes).

GIRLS EMPOWERMENT GROUP
You could go it alone...but you don't have to.
Lots of teens suffer in silence. They feel like they should be able to handle all of the pressures of their lives alone. In group, we help teens explore their identities, challenge social constructs, find their community and voice.
