Family and Community Supports

Steadfast Connector

Fort Saskatchewan

The Steadfast Connector provides personalized support for clients to navigate, maintain and increase social support systems, including but not limited to, government, addictions, mental health, funding streams and natural supports. The Steadfast Connector will support communication between the client and Community Services in order to reduce silo'd systems and increase networks of support for Fort Saskatchewan community members.

You can find the Steadfast Connector at Families First during business hours on weekdays. If you require assistance after business hours, please contact the Steadfast Connector to schedule an after-hours appointment below.

We also recognize that sometimes life throws curveballs our way. When this happens, and finances get tough, The Families First Helping Hands fund (available to residents of Fort Saskatchewan) may be able to provide some support when all other avenues have been exhausted.

After Hours Appointment Request

If you find yourself in a tough situation and need some support to navigate the resources/supports available to you, please reach out to the Families First Steadfast Connector at any time:
