Child & Family Services
Early Intervention Services supports Indigenous children (ages 0-19) and their families in accessing the care, therapies, and resources they need to thrive in their homes, childcare settings, schools, and communities. Our team takes a culturally safe and holistic approach, working closely with families to build individualized plans that promote inclusion, skill development, and overall well-being. Our team services different geographical areas depending on the service offered.
We connect families with a wide range of therapeutic and support services, help navigate specialized medical appointments, and collaborate with schools and community partners to ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed. We also advocate alongside families, helping them navigate systems, access funding, and ensure their children’s needs are heard and met.
