child protection concern

confidential, culturally safe support

Our programs are designed and implemented with deep roots in culture and traditions meant to nurture and develop families and family development.

In a reflection of these values, the Community Navigator is now the first point of contact when someone makes an inquiry about a child’s wellness, requests support, or has questions about the programs and services.

This position was created to ensure each request is being reviewed from a preventative lens, with elder guidance and community collaboration.
