Our Social Enterprise portfolio includes the following services:
Education Services
Our Education Services offer classes related to three of The Family Centre's areas of focus: that parents will be better equipped to raise healthy children, individuals will build the understanding and skills required to develop strong and healthy relationships, and that individuals, families, and institutions will gain the knowledge needed to effectively navigate through change.

Employee and Family Assistance Program (FSEAP)
The Family Centre is a member of the only national Employee Assistance Program (EAP) structured as a social enterprise. Our EAP mission is to promote resilient workplaces, inspire healthy families, and to build strong, thriving communities. We are uniquely positioned to support workplace health and wellness through our lens of “healthy families in healthy communities”.
Counselling
Our goal is to offer easy-to-access counselling services. That is why counselling is available on a drop-in basis, and the first session is always free. To remove financial barriers, subsidies are available for follow-up sessions. We adjusted to the COVID-19 pandemic by offering counselling sessions also online.
Our counselling services are funded by fees scaled to the income of clients, donors, and funders; The City of Edmonton - Family and Community Support Services and United Way of the Alberta Capital Region.
Training for Organizations
At The Family Centre, we believe we must all come together as people-serving organizations to share our knowledge and work collaboratively. This is our goal when offering our workshops: to better support each other and to support those who need us most.
Every workshop is rooted in the work we do every day. When organizations invest in training with us, they're also supporting the community—100% of the revenue goes directly toward funding counselling and family support services.
