Company Profile

Company Description:

The evolution of what is now the Family Resource Center of Invermere, a registered society, with charitable status, in operation since 1988, has brought with it diversified knowledge and experience in service delivery, pooled in a dedicated team of professionals, board members and volunteers residing in the Columbia Valley. Our service area covers all communities from Canal Flats in the south to Spillimacheen in the north and west to Panorama It is the only society in the Columbia Valley to offer such a wide range of services under one umbrella, and in locations and facilities easily accessible to the public. 

We believe the ability to create a healthy community depends upon the health of all community residents, and that all people are entitled to support to develop and maintain their health. Further to this we believe that clients have the right and capacity to determine how they would like to change their lives, and the strength to make those changes. To promote a healthy community, the Family Resource Centre team strives to meet community needs by providing diverse and accessible information, as well as confidential support services to anyone who seeks them.  Counselling provided is supportive and educational, and is not intended as “therapy” or “treatment”.

The Family Resource Centre of Invermere aims to be a growing, learning, supportive place where people are comfortable seeking assistance in dealing with issues they face.  Our vision is to enrich the community by empowering the individual. We use partnerships, knowledge, experience and innovation to encourage community and individual wellness in an accessible and supportive environment.
