FCSS is a unique partnership between the province, and municipalities or Métis settlements. The FCSS Philosophy is based on a belief that self-help contributes to a sense of integrity, self-worth and independence. The programs developed are intended to help individuals within their communities to adopt healthy lifestyles, thereby improving the quality of life and building capacity to prevent and/or deal with crisis situations should they arise.
Penhold FCSS makes it a priority to provide preventative social services, which means, enhancing the social well-being of individuals and families through promotion or intervention strategies provided at the earliest opportunity; we do this by focusing on 5 key areas:
1. Promote, encourage and support volunteers and donors in the community
2. Encourage and facilitate cooperation and coordination with/among other services
3. Promote the social development of young children, youth and their families so that they can function effectively within their own environment
4. Facilitate services that enhance the quality of life for the retired and semi-retired
5. Promote, encourage and facilitate the development of a stronger community
