WHAT
WE DO

Providing
Connections

Work with families and CAS to ensure that culturally sensitive, appropriate and holistic supports are available for Black families in all phases of navigating or involvement with the Child Welfare system.

System

Navigation

We support families and service providers to liaise with services that are delivered by Black-led, informed, and serving agencies–who are aligned in their ability and desire to offer culturally relevant and responsive services to Black community members.
