There are a lot of reasons to become a caregiver.

"I became a caregiver because I’m passionate about supporting children and youth and providing them with a safe, caring home where they can heal and grow," shared one of the caregivers from our ohpikîhakan Foster Care program.

"I appreciate the ongoing support, communication, and commitment the program offers to both caregivers and the children in care. I receive regular check-ins, guidance, and training that help me feel confident and supported in my caregiving role."

Being a caregiver is a big responsibility that makes a big impact. "I aim to make a positive difference by helping children build trust, confidence, and stability in their daily lives."

Every moment has the power to change a life. For 85 years, United Way of the Alberta Capital Region has been there in those moments — when someone needs help right now, and when a small step forward can make a big difference.

The Family Centre has been a funded partner since our beginning in 1942. As we approach our own 85th anniversary next year, we are excited to celebrate our long-standing history together.

Our team at The Family Centre is celebrating this milestone anniversary with a workplace fundraising campaign.Every dollar stays 100% local, creating ripples of positive change throughout our community.

Last year, we were awarded the Funded Partner Award for our workplace campaign, so keep an eye on our social media for updates on this year's progress!

We all struggle with life’s ups and downs.

Usually, you can handle the pitfalls that life throws your way by developing strategies to work through everyday, ordinary worries. However, when things get a little more challenging, many people seek support from a therapist. How do you know that you could benefit from talking to a therapist?

Our blog post gives you prompts to consider: https://tfcna.com/4hGNUIZ

Our Family Systems Domestic Violence (FSDV) Program is suited to families experiencing a low-to-medium risk for physical or emotional aggression.

But what does that mean?

- Low risk might look like situational conflict and minor physical acts (pushing, grabbing). There is no pattern of control, severe injury, weapons, or escalation.
- Medium risk might look like more frequent conflict, emotional or verbal abuse, minor physical violence, children witnessing conflict, or some risk factors (e.g. stress, substance abuse, mental health concerns).

If you're not sure where your family fits on this scale, please reach out to our program coordinator: https://tfcna.com/46VWVcd

Anger is normal, but how you handle it makes a big difference.

There are a lot of signs that you may not be handling your anger in a healthy way. You may act violently towards yourself, others, or property. Or when something unpleasant happens, your reactions feel bigger than the situation calls for. 🙅

Learn how to control your anger rather than letting anger control you. Register today for our next Men And Anger class happening October 13 & 15: https://tfcna.com/4xPk4rH

This class meets court requirements and is court-approved. ✔️

In July 2024, Aran and Hassan welcomed two brothers, aged 8 and 11, into their home after the ohpikîhakan Foster Care team successfully advocated for them to remain together.

Despite having no prior fostering experience, Aran and Hassan thrived by maintaining constant communication with their Family Centre Therapeutic Supervisor, a partnership that provided the resources and grounding necessary to navigate the complexities of trauma and separation.The boys formed a deep connection with Aran and Hassan and eventually referred to them affectionately as "Grandma and Grandpa."
