Change. One conversation at a time.

Rapid Access Counselling (RAC) provides you and your family with a supportive, change-focused conversation at the right time. This service is tailored to support caregivers and children with a focus on healthy child development, supporting caregiver capacity, and promoting resilience within the family. RAC is real help, within the reach of every Albertan. It's anonymous, practical, and because it's virtual, doesn't require travel. It's available for individuals, couples, and families, at no cost to you.
Appointments are available Monday to Friday by secure video or phone, including some evenings.
RAC is available province-wide as part of a collaboration between The Family Centre in Edmonton and Kindred in Calgary, supporting Alberta Family Resource Networks.
