INDIGENOUS FAMILY SUPPORTS

INDIGENOUS FAMILY SUPPORTS, a cornerstone Spoke service offered by Red Road, extends its nurturing embrace to Family Futures at their Summer Side location in Southwest Edmonton. This ongoing outreach endeavor welcomes Indigenous parents and children to engage in programming both individually and together, fostering a sense of community and connection.

Within the nurturing environment of Family Futures, families are enveloped in a web of support that encompasses EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT, FAMILY OUTREACH, and PARENT EDUCATION. Designed to meet the diverse needs of families, this service is accessible to those who can reach a community center with their children, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility.

While INDIGENOUS FAMILY SUPPORTS predominantly operates as a universal service, it also offers targeted assistance when needed, demonstrating its flexibility and responsiveness to individual family needs. Operating within the realms of the Social Connections and Supports Domain, the Child Development Domain, and primarily the Caregiver Capacity and Building Supports Domain, this comprehensive support system addresses various aspects of family well-being.

In addition to programming, INDIGENOUS FAMILY SUPPORTS extends beyond the confines of traditional services to provide essential resources such as drives, food delivery, legal support, and access to counseling and therapy. The inclusion of cultural elements such as speaking with an Elder and attending ceremonies adds a spiritual dimension to the support provided, recognizing the importance of holistic well-being.

Red Road Spoke service collaborates closely with Family Futures, ensuring that families requesting this service upon registration receive the assistance they need to thrive. Through INDIGENOUS FAMILY SUPPORTS, families are empowered to navigate life’s challenges, strengthen bonds, and create nurturing environments where children can flourish.
