Witset Indigenous Early Years Liaison

Witset Indigenous Early Years Liaison Working with Families 0-6 In response, the Indigenous Early Years Liaison Worker position was created to support children ages 0–6 and their families.

The Wit’suwit’en Child and Family Centre identified a need for additional support to help families access essential health, developmental, and educational services during the early years. Guided by our mission of building healthier families for a healthier tomorrow, this role supports families through collaboration, advocacy, and culturally respectful connections to services that promote healthy d

evelopment and well-being. Our goals are to build strong, trusting relationships with Indigenous families, support culturally safe and welcoming early years environments, and promote the holistic development and well-being of Indigenous children. Through collaboration with community partners and a commitment to ongoing learning and reflection, we work to create coordinated, respectful, and effective supports for families.

Transportation support is coordinated in collaboration with families and community partners, based on availability and need.
