Crossfield

Support Services helps get you connected to your community. There are no fees for accessing programs through Support Services.

Are you facing challenges and are looking for support to get connected to programs and services? Our Information and Referral Program can help.
Support Services staff will be in Crossfield at the Public Library the 2nd Wednesday of each month or attending various groups/events around the community. Support can be accessed by appointment at our Airdrie location during regular office hours. Phone service is available by calling toll free to 1-866-945-3905.
Support Services staff can provide information, supported referrals, and advocacy to help community members connect to services and programs within Community Links, within your community, or from the Government. The service is designed to empower community members to identify your specific needs and build knowledge and problem-solving skills to address challenges now and in the future.
In partnership with the Community Income Tax Program, community members with a modest income and simple tax situation can have your income tax completed at no cost.

Community Links Counselling Services is at W.G. Murdock School on Wednesdays. Consult with the school if you feel your child would benefit from counselling support at school.
Counselling for those not in school is available at our Airdrie location, by phone or virtually.
Counselling provides one-on-one counselling for individuals, couples, families, youth, and children from 10 years old and up. Sometimes individuals share their issues looking for solutions and sometimes they just need to unload their stress; either way our counselling sessions are strictly confidential. We provide therapeutic workshops and groups to suit your needs.
Be advised all our Counsellors are professionals who can deliver valued counselling for you and your family members.
All referrals to Counselling go through our Information and Referral Program.

Parent Education: Parents can access programs to build and enhance your skills and confidence.
Parent Consultation: The one-on-one support is designed to help parents and caregivers identify and develop their strengths and to be active, involved, and respectful leaders in the family. The Parent Coach can offer behaviour guidance skills that can make parenting much more enjoyable and effective.
Early Childhood Development: These programs are designed to be a lot of fun and enhance parent-child relationships through positive experiences together. The children are invited to explore a wide variety of high quality, interactive, play based activities. These activities encourage curiosity, social skills, problem-solving experiences and other skills that can help them to develop their readiness to learn and ensure they start school with the ability to success. Programs also offer parents and caregivers an opportunity to access resources and build friendships.
Ages & Stages (ASQ-3) Developmental Check-Up is available in-person or online through our Mini Milestones Program.
