Family Resource Centre
In late 2000, with the support of the Volunteer Organization at CPRI, the Family Resource Centre was opened as a regional information centre committed to providing up-to-date, consumer-friendly information and reference services on child and adolescent mental health and developmental disabilities. Our goal is to use these resources for the education of clients, families, caregivers, CPRI staff and the community at large.
The Family Resource Centre has an ever-growing collection of books, magazines, videos and other audiovisual materials for children, teens and adults. Our resources include information on:
- Abuse and Violence
- Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Anger Management
- Anxiety
- Attachment Disorder
- Autism / Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD)
- Behaviour Management
- Bipolar Disorder / Depression
