Family Programs

Family Resource Network

The Family Resource Network, funded through the Ministry of Children’s Services, provides programs and services to children and youth 0-18, parents, caregivers, and families.

The Family Resource Network Hub receives and responds to referrals to ensure seamless access to prevention and early intervention services for children, youth, and families. Programs and services include a continuum of universal, targeted, and intensive service delivery to enhance Child Development and Wellbeing, Caregiver Capacity Building, and Social Connections and Supports.

Along with our community partners, BGC Wetaskiwin is pleased to support Wetaskiwin, Ponoka, Rimbey, and Surrounding Areas.

Hub Referral and Coordination Services

The Family Resource Network Hub is located at the BGC Wetaskiwin’s downtown location – 5109 51 Street Wetaskiwin as well as appointments available in Ponoka, Rimbey, Millet, and surrounding areas.

The Hub receives and responds to referrals to ensure seamless access to prevention and early intervention services for participants. We coordinate and collaborate with our community partners to ensure that individuals and families receive appropriate referrals, relevant information, and are supported in accessing and registering in programs both within the Family Resource Network and in the community. The Hub continuously remains aware of and responds to the needs in our communities.

Enrichment Program

The Enrichment Program is a free, personalized, solution-focused counselling program that supports families with children ages 7-18 and youth directly to build skills, caregiver capacity, protective factors, develop strong support networks, and reduce risks to improve personal and family functioning as well as foster a safe, nurturing environment for children.

Enrichment Program Counsellors ensure access to the program by facilitating in individual homes and community spaces, as well as addressing and reducing any barriers to participation within the Family Resource Network, including Wetaskiwin, Ponoka, Rimbey, Millet, and surrounding areas.
