Helpful Information & Resources



The BC Association of Community Response Networks (CRN)

The Langley Community Response Network is part of the BC Association of Community Response Networks (CRN).

At the local level, CRNs facilitate prevention and education activities with local stakeholders toward an end to abuse, neglect and self-neglect of vulnerable adults in British Columbia. In liaising at the provincial level through their Regional Mentors and the Executive Director, CRNs assist in identifying common themes, barriers and issues which require work at the regional, provincial and sometimes national level.


To learn more about BCCRN, its work and how it supports seniors and other vulnerable people, please visit BC Community Response Networks.
