Southeast Child & Family Services
Agency Overview
Southeast Child & Family Services implements initiatives to empower the communities to re-establish the Anishinaabe family and child care system that is based in the values, customs, and traditions of the communities served by our Agency.
We work in partnership with the First Nations leadership to advocate for systemic changes that will enable the services to focus on family preservation, family reunification, customary and kinship care, healing of the communities, and revitalizing the structures that existed prior to the mainstream child welfare system was imposed.
Our organization has been providing services since 1982.

Our children are gifts from the Creator and we respect that we have a responsibility to support the families and communities we serves to ensure the children prosper and reach their full potential.
