Our work supports families by keeping families together.
We value connection, kinship, patience, compassion, love and care.
Our programs include prevention, intervention, (re)connection, care, and cultural support. We work with kohkoms, mosoms, and community members to support the children, youth and families in our care to ensure Nehiyaw ways of knowing and being are incorporated into all aspects of our work.

KCWS consists of these program areas:
The Placement Resources Unit helps with all factors related to foster and kinship homes including recruitment, licensing, training, matching, and support for Caregivers.
The Band Designate facilitates cultural connections for children, youth, and their families. Establishing and nurturing these relationships is crucial for the well-being of Indigenous children and youth, helping them stay connected to their heritage and community.
Our primary focus with using Child Intervention is ensuring the safety and well-being of children. Our caseworkers provide intervention services specifically within Samson Cree Nation.
In our Group Care homes, we have cultivated a culture-based program that goes beyond basic care. It is a holistic journey rooted in language, traditional practices, customs, and meaningful interactions for Indigenous children and youth to foster a deep connection with their identity and community.
