Wolseley Family Place

Wolseley Family Place (WFP) is a non-profit, community-based family resource centre which serves families with children living in the inner city of Winnipeg. Wolseley Family Place and its community partners apply a strengths-based approach to addressing the needs identified by local individuals. The overall goal of Wolseley Family Place is to provide a community-based continuum of education and services to families "at risk". Wolseley Family Place recognizes that the health of families is linked to the conditions of their lives and to their ability to influence these conditions. Wolseley Family Place works with families to assist them to develop the information, skills and confidence that they need to care for themselves and their children. Wolseley Family Place affirms the right of all families to self-determination within their own culture, spiritual and social context, and endeavours to link the program with others who share these goals. The work of Wolseley Family Place is guided by principles that focus on building supportive relationships, facilitating growth, respecting diversity, and furthering community development. Wolseley Family Place facilitates social support, co-operation, and collective responsbility by offering education, information, activities, material support, and other resources to families across a number of program areas. Program areas include parent/child education, family preservation, child care and development, health and safety issues, food and nurtrition sessions, recreational activities, life skills and awareness workshops, employment support, community development, literacy programs and leadership development. Wolseley Family Place evolves in response to the evolving needs of the community For more information on our services, please visit http://www.wolseleyfamilyplace.com/home.
