Family Resource Network (FRN)
The Family Resource Network (FRN) provides supports and services under the Ministry of Children’s Services through the Family and Community Resiliency Division.
Leduc County Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is now a provincial Family Resource Network (FRN) hub. Family Resource Networks deliver high-quality prevention and early intervention services and supports for children aged 0 to 18.
Programming will focus on three core areas: child development and well-being supports, caregiver capacity building supports and social connections supports. These supports will center on strengthening parent and caregiver knowledge, coping and problem-solving skills, access to community resources, improving child and youth development, building resiliency and fostering well-being.
Services offered through Leduc County’s FRN will replace previous early intervention and prevention programming, including Parent Link programs, and offer a wider range of services to a broader age group of children and their parents.
Family Resource Network programs
Supports offered through Leduc County’s FRN will be available to residents in Leduc County, Beaumont, Devon, Calmar, Thorsby and Warburg.
Check our program calendar for all available drop-in and registered programs.
