Looking for help but don’t know where to start? 

Carlin sits down with Sherri Mullen of the Okotoks Family Resource Centre, a powerhouse that's been supporting the community for over two decades. 

Sherri shares the ins and outs of how her team answers hundreds of calls, coordinates essential services, and keeps residents connected—from volunteer rides to medical appointments to free tax filing for low-income families. 

This conversation reveals the invisible backbone of Okotoks' social support system and reminds us all that asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness.
