When we dwell on difficulties and deficiencies alone, we can lose sight of the potential for positive and lasting change inherent in all families and communities.   

This year, FSC’s national conference – Celebrating the Power of Families and Communities – aims to change that perspective by highlighting community initiatives, agency programs and research that look at the strengths and power of families and communities. 

The conference will draw attention to the strengths, assets and power for positive change in all families, even those that seem most disadvantaged and vulnerable. 

Family service agencies across Canada have stories to share about programs and approaches that illustrate how families tap into this power to overcome challenging circumstances and solve problems together.

You are invited to come participate in the conference and share one of your stories!

Celebrating the Power of Families and Communities will take place in Winnipeg, Manitoba from September 28 to 29, 2006 and is being hosted by the Family Centre of Winnipeg.
