Current research has shown that everyone benefits when child and family serving agencies integrate services and collaborate with others. Children and families get their needs met in a holistic and respectful way. Programs can provide more services to their participants than budgets and staffing would otherwise permit. Systems and organizations can reach more people in the community than they would through more formal means. All Canadians receive more value for the investments we make in early childhood and family development. By working together we know we can produce better outcomes for our children, families and our communities.

This conference is FRP Canada's 30th anniversary celebration of family support in Canada. Speakers include:

- The Honourable Ken Dryden, Minister of Social Development
- The Honourable Marilyn Trenholme Counsell, Senator, Sackville, New Brunswick
- Jane Bertrand, Atkinson Centre for Society and Child Development
- Cindy Blackstock, First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada
- Charles Coffey, Royal Bank of Canada
