Family Services

Raising a child with a developmental disability takes a strong support network. Family Services helps children and youth up to age 17 build relationships, take part in their community and grow — while giving parents and caregivers the respite they need.

What's included

• Respite — short-term in-home or out-of-home hourly support that gives caregivers a break.
• Community Support — a Child & Youth Worker takes your child out to enjoy activities.
• Personal Care Aide — hands-on help with hygiene and daily care.
• Youth Night OUT & Summer Day Camps — social fun for ages 10–17.
• Behaviour Consultation — evidence-based strategies for parents.

Understanding the funding (FSCD)

Most supports are funded through Alberta's Family Support for Children with Disabilities program. To receive respite, your child needs a current FSCD agreement. New to FSCD? Call (780) 427-4354 (option 3) — we're happy to help.

How it works

2. Confirm (or apply for) your child's FSCD agreement.
3. We match your family with the right worker and supports.
4. Support begins.
