Lethbridge Family Centre

Family Centre, based in Lethbridge, is a non-profit organization providing a comprehensive range of services to children, youth and families in Southwestern Alberta.

We are Lethbridge’s Family Resource Network Hub, coordinating supports and services for the community in partnership with five other agencies.

The vision that we are always seeking to achieve is, “Healthy Children! Healthy Families! Healthy Communities!” Thanks to Family Centre, each year individuals and families can take advantage of free programs that help build stronger and more resilient families in our community.

Family Centre provides Parent Education, Early Childhood Education, Family Supports including Developmental Screening, Early Literacy and Learning, Subsidized Family Counselling as well as Information and Referral services.

Family Centre, a registered charity, empowers approximately 4,500 children and their families yearly through resources, programs and connections.

Family Centre was formed in 1994, when two organizations, Family and Community Development and Parent’s Place, merged to provide a more comprehensive range of services to children and families.

Since the earliest days, when Parent’s Place was established in 1980, our key driver has been to share with parents the joys and challenges of raising children.

Two branches provide services in North and West Lethbridge: The Interfaith Chinook Country Kitchen at Family Centre North has been based on a close and productive partnership with the Interfaith Food Bank since 2004.

Family Centre’s West branch has been operating out of the Coalbanks Elementary School in the Copperwood neighborhood since September 2017 and features an outdoor play area.

Family Centre is proud of its strong reputation for serving and responding to the needs of families in southwestern Alberta together with many other service providers.
