Working collaboratively with families and other resources, we deliver child safety, family support, and prevention services. We provide families with information on how to navigate our services, address potential child safety concerns, and outline our family wellness and reunification programs to assist them throughout their journey.
Our services, activities, and programming promote Sḵwx̱wú7mesh culture and traditional teachings and are for parents, caregivers, youth, and children. Through intensive one-on-one support, collaborative work with families and other professionals, education, group activities, and therapeutic interventions for community members, we can support families in every aspect of their journey.
