Family PRIDE Program

Who can access our services?

Our prevention services and supports are available to children, youth, and families who are normally and ordinarily resident on reserve, as defined by Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).

Primary Prevention: Prevention services are aimed at the community as a whole

Secondary Prevention: Prevention services are activated when a child may be at risk, where interventions could remediate risk.

Tertiary Prevention: Prevention services target specific families when a child has been identified as at risk of harm, child maltreatment, where maltreatment has taken place, and/or Child Protection Services are involved.

Our Commitment

Our work is centered on reducing the number of children placed in the provincial child protection system. We’re committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe and nurturing home within their community. 

Children are the sacred gifts from the Creator, representing the hopes, dreams and future of our people.
