We have partnered with over 40 schools in Edmonton to ensure students, their families, and the school employees receive supports to:
- Improve classroom behaviours by addressing underlying issues
- Provide tools and techniques for teachers and families to keep children in school and to understand children who have gone through trauma
- Foster a positive school experience, and build confidence and skills for academic success
- Support children to attend school more regularly, achieve higher results, avoid high-risk behaviours, make effective decisions and goals, and see a positive future for themselves
- Engage families in participating in their child’s learning, the school environment, and family activities
- Guide children and youth to make positive decisions using role models, mentors, advocates, and affordable community supports
- Reduce the stigma and other barriers to therapeutic supports

The Family Centre acknowledges that we are on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting ground, gathering place, and traveling route for the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
