Family Strength Program

NeqceɁéce QapšqapšnáawitOffering intensive wraparound, community-based services for children, youth, and families.

Supporting Children, Youth, and Families

The Family Strength Program works collaboratively with the people involved in a child's care using a wraparound approach.

The program is centered on each individual's values and circumstances, meeting clients where they are in life. Services are provided in community and school-based settings to help families access the support they need to heal.

The program takes a strength-based approach, recognizing that families know themselves best and should have an active role in determining what works for them.

Trauma-Informed

We guide families as they heal.

Trauma can be an event or series of events that causes emotional distress. This can include experiences such as:

  • Injury
  • Death or loss of someone close
  • Family separation
  • Exposure to violence
  • Abuse
  • Natural disasters

Historical trauma, including forced relocation, colonization, loss of language, and boarding schools, can also continue to affect future generations.

Our History

The Family Strength Program began as a grant-funded program supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

The grant was awarded in 2013, and the program became self-sustaining in 2018.

The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.
