Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) is being recognized by the American National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) with one of two 2022 Champions for Native Children awards.
NICWA’s award recognizes “…exemplary service to Native children and families” and “significant contributions to the well-being of Indigenous children, families, and communities in the United States or Canada.” CSFS is very proud to receive this recognition from NICWA.
CSFS Chief Executive Officer Warner Adam will virtually accept the award in ceremony during NICWA’s upcoming 40th Annual Protecting Our Children Conference: “I am truly honoured to accept this award from a sister-organization across the border with a similar mission to aid Indigenous children and families, end abuse and improve child welfare while assisting Indigenous people with culturally relevant supports as they need it.”
“I also see this award as an acknowledgement of the hard work and commitment of our CSFS staff and their collective efforts in protecting children and keeping them connected to their families, communities and Carrier cultures,” continues Adam.
In 2020, CSFS celebrated 30 years of providing holistic wellness services for our member nations. CSFS was created to reassert First Nations control of justice, health, social and family services, all of which have suffered through the process of colonization. CSFS staff work together across various disciplines to provide the best possible holistic wellness services to First Nations people in Carrier and Sekani territory.
