Family Resource Programs of BC Family Resource Programs of BC (FRP-BC) is a membership organization dedicated to promoting and supporting community-based Family Resource Programs (FRPs).

Family Resource Programs (FRPs) are parent/child interactive centres for families with children 0–6 years. The programs reflect the diversity of the community, and services are designed to strengthen parenting skills, provide stimulating environments for children, and promote family and community engagement. FRPs engage with families through five core areas of service:

1. Family Support
2. Play-based Learning
3. Early Learning and Literacy
4. Parent Education
5. Information and Referrals

The FRP trauma-informed model is based on a comprehensive network of prevention, early intervention, and family supports, connecting thousands of BC families, particularly vulnerable families, every year to relevant programs and services. Services are geared to meet the individual needs of the family and all families are welcome.

Do you call your Family Resource Program by another name?

Family Resource Programs are found in communities across BC. They go by many names, and are found in different places.

But no matter what they’re called, or where you find them, Family Resource Programs share one key purpose: connecting families with young children to community and support.

On October 19-23, join us in celebrating Family Resource Program Week, where we'll showcase the impact of FRPs and advocate for much-needed support.

As we look forward to FRP Week, we thought we'd share: what can families find at their local Family Resource Program?

Family Resource Programs, also known as Family Drop-Ins, are welcoming local places where families with young children ages 0-6 can play, learn, connect and find support.

💜 Because every family deserves a place to turn to, and to belong.

In the last 15 years, researchers in childhood disability have explored using 6 F-word’s to support building connection and focusing on strengths of children, youth and families with therapists, education and other community programs. Talking about fun, family, friends, fitness, function, and future lead easily into current interests and upcoming goals for families!

Reasons staff are enthusiastic about using F-words:
☑️ Focuses on strengths and interests of children and youth that we may not learn otherwise
☑️ Supportive for families, allowing them to direct the goals we are working towards
☑️ Allows for collaboration across different partner organizations with more consistency
☑️ Allows families to get to know our interests too!
