Family Resource Network - Brooks & Area

Family Resource Network - Brooks & Area Program and services will support child safety, well-being, child/youth development and strengthen parenting and caregiver knowledge.

The Brooks & Area FRN delivers high quality prevention and early intervention services and supports for families with children aged 0-18, through a provincial network of community –based service providers. Family Resource Network's (FRN) support expectant parents, families, caregivers and communities to support the safety and resiliency of infants, children, and youth within nurturing and supporti

ve environments. Through a ‘hub and spoke’ model of service delivery, Networks (hubs) will coordinate the prevention and early intervention services in all geographic areas and in various cultural communities across the province – either directly or through collaborative partnerships with qualified service agencies or providers (spokes). The SPEC HUB is the main point of entry for the Brooks and Area FRN for families who have children 0 – 18. The HUB coordinates the delivery of all FRN services, supports and programming either directly or through formal collaborative partnerships promoting optimal matching of family needs and services.
