PROGRAMS FOR Families

“Families are like branches in a tree. We grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one.” - unknown

At Arrow and Slocan Lakes Community Services, we work together to develop and deliver programs designed to improve the lives of families in our area. We recognize that without healthy families, we cannot have healthy communities. As ongoing advocates for inclusive and responsive strategies which address the needs of the family, we engage in outreach, community based activities and engage any families who wish it in achieving change in conditions which have adverse effects on their familial health.
