Who We Are |
Our program provides culturally sensitive, intervention and support services to Aboriginal families that have status with Region 6 Child & Family Services. The program is contracted to provide Family Intervention Support Services and Intense Family Stabilization and Preservation Services.
Our Mission - Our Children Are Sacred. Our work will strive to protect and enhance that sacredness by providing Aboriginal children and their families with holistic education, supportive social services and programs of high quality and cultural relevance. Our fundamental beliefs reflect those of our namesake, Ben Calf Robe. He was a Blackfoot Elder and residential school survivor, who worked to bridge the gap between the non-aboriginal population and the Aboriginal people. |
