Centre d’Appui Familial aims to support Francophone, Francophile and exogamous
families in Southern Alberta in their development and well-being.
Our Lethbridge office opened in September 2023 and since then we have been
offering services for both children and their families. Our services focus on
strengthening parental bonds and knowledge while giving social support and
teaching a variety of skills such as how to cope, how to problem solve and how to
access community resources.
In addition we offer support services for families as well as early-intervention for
children.
We work in collaboration with Francosud, the Francophone school district, to offer
after school programming in the French language.
Vision
Where every family in southern Alberta is supported,
fulfilled and achieves its full potential.
Mission
Centre d’appui familial works in the areas of parental support and the healthy development of children and
youth. It equips Francophone, Francophile and exogamous families through programs, activities and
resources in French, to develop their resilience and well-being.
Community Spirit : We care
about the well-being of our
Francophone communities and we
advance their issues. We improve the lives of our diverse families by respecting their priorities, meeting their needs and building close ties with them.
Inclusion : We work so that
everyone can benefit from
our programs and services that
contribute to the vitality of the families
we serve. We create environments where each person has their place and feels accepted and cared for according to their personal situation.
Integrity : Our top priority is to act
with honesty, transparency and respect, while being faithful to our values and making fair decisions. We adhere to the highest moral and ethical principles in our behaviour with others.
Collaboration : We have the desire to
cooperate with others to advance
common issues and produce results greater than what could have been achieved alone. By standing together,
in a sincere manner, we improve our
conditions, expand our services and
increase our impacts.
