The Aboriginal Family Support Program provides support to Aboriginal children 0-6 years of age and their families.
Funding for this program is provided by Health Canada - Brighter futures Community Action Programs for Children (CAP-C).
The overall goal of the program is to focus on the learning and development years of the child. The wholistic method is used to develop programs focusing on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of the child.
