Family Support Practitioners (FSPs) are here to help families navigate life's ups and downs. We asked our FSPs at the Strathcona County Family Resource Network what they want parents to know about their role and how they support families.

There's still time! Help raise awareness for Family Violence Prevention Month this November by crocheting a small purple elephant (two to three inches). Don't crochet? Share this post!

The crocheted elephants symbolize issues that are often left unspoken and will be part of the Elephant in the Room installation throughout November. Installation visitors can take one to display, spark conversations and help raise awareness about family violence.
