Okotoks Healthy Family Resource Centre

Our services are intended to help strengthen individuals and families by making connections to community resources.   

Principles:

Quality service

Each family is unique and entitled to individualized services in their own community. Residents have the ability to determine what services they need and to make decisions that affect them.

Honesty, respect and trust

Individuals choose to access the Centre and receive services based upon disclosure of their current situation and needs. Confidentiality is maintained.

Recognition

The wellness and strengths of an individual, family and community are emphasized. Services are provided with an understanding that all individuals may require support at some time in their life and seeking this support is a sign of strength.

Goals:

1. To provide an accessible point of entry where families can obtain the supports and resources they require.
2. To provide a timely intervention (including any education, support or crisis management) that may assist families in becoming stronger, more self-reliant and accountable for the decisions that affect them.
3. To improve the access to community resources.
