Métis Family Connections is supported by BC’s Ministry of Children and Family Development, Indigenous Early Years Divison. The program is focused on helping families build a network of support that provides children with opportunities for early learning and childhood development. It also offers an important connection to cultural resources and the opportunity for families to explore their Métis identity.

Métis Family Connections Navigators assist families to access programs and services that are available in their region and connect them to community and culture. We encourage families that have Métis children birth to 8 years to enroll their children in Métis Family Connections and stay connected to MNBC. For more information on Métis Family Connections including how to enroll, please contact.

• Community Event

Parenting when our kid’s anxiety leads to social isolation is hard for everyone. A parent and counsellor talk about what anxiety and social isolation are, what it can look like and feel like for our kids and at home, strategies families can try and how important it is to connect with our children before doing the hard work of trying new things.
