The Alternative Care unit collaborates with case managers, families and communities to ensure that children are placed with culturally appropriate care givers.
Animikii Ozoson CFS supports our First Nation Communities to rebuild the traditional child care practices, rooted in Indigenous values, customs, and traditions.
The Alternative Care unit provides various placement resources for children who require a safe place to stay, while maintaining connection to family, culture and community. These resources include customary, kinship, culturally appropriate, emergency, short-term, and long-term placements.
