Our work
Families Matter is a Calgary-based charitable organization dedicated to ensuring children, youth, and families have the support they need to thrive. We believe that the best way to improve outcomes for children is by strengthening the people who raise them.
Our vision at Families Matter is building a connected community in which families are nurtured and supported to be happy, healthy, and resilient.
Our values are: Respect, Resilience, Collaboration, Playfulness & Self-Awareness
Through evidence-informed parenting programs, mental health supports, home visitation, early childhood development, father-specific initiatives, and community connection, we help parents and caregivers build the confidence, skills, and resilience needed to create safe, healthy, and nurturing homes.
Parenting is one of life’s most profound joys, but it can also be uniquely isolating and exhausting. At Families Matter, we step into that gap to ensure no parent in Calgary has to struggle in silence. We aren't just a service provider; we are a dedicated support system built on the belief that every family deserves a village.
We help you navigate the transitions of parenthood with confidence. Whether you are managing postpartum anxiety, seeking ways to bond with your toddler, or looking for a mentor who understands the journey of fatherhood, we provide the professional tools and community connection you need to build a strong, resilient home.
Learn: We provide evidence-based education to help you understand your child’s development and your own wellbeing.
Love: We lead with compassion, ensuring every family, regardless of background or circumstance, feels respected and heard.
