Devon is a family centred town; people move here, grow up here, return and raise their families here. Our proximity to the surrounding areas means we have connections to a wide variety of additional supports and activities, but we have access to a great number of programs, services, events and opportunities right here in Town.
The Family Resource Network (FRN) provides supports and services under the Ministry of Children’s Services through the Family and Community Resiliency Division.
Leduc County Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is now a provincial Family Resource Network (FRN) hub. Family Resource Networks deliver high-quality prevention and early intervention services and supports for children aged 0 to 18.
Programming will focus on three core areas: child development and well-being supports, caregiver capacity building supports and social connections supports. These supports will center on strengthening parent and caregiver knowledge, coping and problem-solving skills, access to community resources, improving child and youth development, building resiliency and fostering well-being.
Services offered through Leduc County’s FRN will replace previous early intervention and prevention programming, including Parent Link programs, and offer a wider range of services to a broader age group of children and their parents.
For more information on this free, weekly group, follow this link to their Facebook Page (not a Town of Devon site).
Local Youth Experience offers a huge variety of prograns to youth in Devon and builds connections between youth and their community while focusing on what young people truly feel passionate about.
This program offers short-term support through one-on-one visits that assist individuals or families to make healthy skill-based improvements in their lives.
Did you know that there is a network of connected early years professionals that include educators, health, library, daycares, day home providers, early childhood specialists, and other interested parties that meet together throughout the year to support each other in the development of early childhood services in Devon?
This network is also linked to a regional early childhood coalition that covers Leduc and area, and Beaumont. This regional network offers workshops and information for parents, caregivers and early years professionals iamgrowingup.ca.
