The SSCY Family Resource Centre is located on the main floor of the Rehabilitation Centre for Children in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We are able to mail print and video resources to Manitoba locations outside of Winnipeg.

Harder-to-Find Resources
In this family-friendly centre, families will find over 1000 harder-to-find resources about special needs and general health issues, including:

• Books, videos and DVDs about specific disabilities or conditions
• story books about or including children with special needs
• books addressing the concerns of siblings and parents
• general parenting resources
• education issues
• fact sheets about public health and general health issues
• listings of community resources
• pamphlets 
•  newsletters
• magazines and journals

Families are welcome to sign out most resources for a four-week period.
 
Internet Access for Families
Children and families are encouraged to use the SSCY Family Resource Centre’s computers to connect to a number of web links and libraries for additional information on specific conditions, disabilities or general health information.

Keeping You Informed
Please also check out the many bulletin boards and posters for information on resources, conferences and other information relevant to families.

A Toy Lending Library
The Take-Out-Toy Services (TOTS) program is also located in the SSCY Family Resource Centre.

TOTS has a number of specially adapted electronic toys for use by children with special needs, in addition to over 200 developmental toys.

A Family-Friendly Play and Rest Area
Check out our accessible play area, full of toys and books, or make use of our family rest area, where families may sit comfortably to read or view resources.

The SSCY Family Resource Centre also has ample space for meetings, discussion groups and support group for families. 

If you are aware of a resource or discussion group that would be helpful for families that we currently do not have in the centre, please contact the SSCY Family Resource Centre Coordinator. We’d love to hear from you!
