Doula Project for At-Risk Indigenous Mothers Ready to Launch in Fall 2019
In partnership with our member Agencies, and under the governance of the Southern Chief’s Organization, the Southern First Nations Network of Care is responsible for the management of child and family services for First Nation children and families throughout Manitoba. Our goal is to ensure that children, families and communities in need have the support they require to promote healthy growth and long-term wellness. Currently, at the Southern First Nations Network of Care, we are transitioning to ensure our policies and procedures align with the principles set out in “An Act Respecting First Nation, Inuit, and Metis Child and Families”, such as Indigenous sovereignty over child welfare, continuity of care, and substantive equality.
With the introduction of An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families (formally Bill C-92), we continue to keep all agencies informed of new developments and implementations as we move toward engagement with the leadership of our respective communities. This change will transform not only the look of child welfare and services to our families and children but potentially our member agencies. We look forward to the continued information sessions held by Indigenous Services Canada as we all move forward together in creating a better child welfare system where our “children will receive culturally appropriate services and grow up immersed in their communities and culture”.
Collectively, we are a "network of care" that is rooted in the traditional philosophy of collectiveness.
