The program is lead and driven by a First Nation framework developed by community members, elders, youth, families, community leadership and MCH staff. Creating positive impacts that extend through generations is imperative to Strengthening Families. The program is designed to support and nurture the over all well being of children and families, through strength-based relationships that utilize current evidence-based resources and traditional practices grounded in community knowledge.

As late Elder Elmer Courchene reminded us that “in all that we do, we must never forget that we work for the little ones.”  Children deserve to grow up healthy, confident, and proud of where they come from and who they are. Children are the hope of our future, the love of our people, and the joy of each nation because Every Child Matters.
