Welcome to the
​Alberta CAPC CPNP Coalition



If you are connected with either a CAPC or CPNP program in Alberta, congratulations! You are a part of the wonderful world of babies, children and families who are trying their best to thrive in a sometimes unfriendly world.  It is challenging, frustrating and rewarding, often all at the same time.  

After working for CAPC and CPNP for a few years, we sometimes wonder if what we are doing is helping the families and communities we serve.  In our fast paced lives, small steps accomplished every day are sometimes hard to recognize as progress.  From time to time it is important to add up the small steps and see the bigger picture.  When we work together collectively as a team, we do make a difference.  

What is it that keeps us inspired to do our work?  What is it that keeps us doing what we do?  Across the province, north to south and west to east, we get very similar answers:
​My values about the importance of families and community play a huge part in why I do what I do.  
And I believe if we all help one another, we contribute to making our society and community a better place."

"I have worked with children and families for 27 years and always wished we had early intervention. Thankfully, we now have programs to promote early learning, parenting strategies, and support to families. This will have a positive impact on communities."  
Cindy - Medicine Hat
"I guess I just felt called to do this job.  Maybe its because of my love for the people and the children in this area.  Maybe its also for the hope that I can make a positive difference."  
Marlaina - High Prairie 
"I believe in the strength that comes from recognizing the important role of language, culture and beliefs that each parent 
and caregiver brings into the child's development.   
In order to do this, the francophone family must be informed, accompanied and supported with health and education programs 
and services in French within the community."    
Louise - St. Paul

"I enjoy helping others.  In any way,  whether big or small 
I enjoy working with families and providing information and resources that help them feel that their relationships, responsibilities and triumphs are meaningful and fulfilling."
Rhonda - Athabasca
