Cultural Safety
SAFSS acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal peoples across the nation.
We are excited to announce that Aboriginal Family Assessments are now available.
Transportation for Children & Families
Aboriginal children and families may feel disempowered, triggered, or unsafe during transportation. This will be exacerbated if cultural safety and understanding is not present. SAFSS aims to reduce this impact with a high level of Aboriginal Cultural expertise, Aboriginal workers, and an Aboriginal lens on trauma informed child centred practice. We offer Aboriginal Families a culturally appropriate service that promotes cultural safety during transportation. Contact us today!
