Our primary focus is on the well-being of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh children and youth who have entered care. We collaborate closely with families to ensure that children maintain their connections to their family, culture, and community. This approach promotes healthy relationships and a deeper understanding of our culture.
The vision of Guardianship Services is to further decrease the number of children in care by dedicating ourselves to creating individualized lifelong plans for each child, with a strong emphasis on reunification with family, extended family, and the community.
