You're invited Tribal Community gathering to shaре family supports for native families
Hosted by the Nisqually Tribe, Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) and Foster America We want to hear from you.
DCYF is working on a new approach called Family First Community-Based Pathways (FFCBP)- a way to help families get connected to trusted support early, before a crisis
happens.
We want to learn from Native families, Elders, caregivers, and community members about the supports you need, what's working well, and how we can honor Tribal culture and traditions in all of these supports.
Your voice will help shape how supports for families are designed and delivered across Washington:
What This Gathering Is About:
- Share your stories, experiences, and hopes for the kinds of support Native families need
- Talk about what makes services feel welcoming, respectful, and useful
- Help shape how programs can reflect and serve Tribal communities
