Tl'etinqox Government

The Community Development Department of Tl'etinqox is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of individuals and families through comprehensive support services. Our department is committed to fostering a strong, healthy, and self-sustaining community by addressing various social needs through our specialized programs.

 

Family Support Services

Our Family Support team works closely with the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and delegated social workers from Indigenous Child and Family Service organizations across British Columbia. Their primary role is to provide direct support to families, ensuring they have the necessary skills and resources to care for their children safely. By assisting families in developing their parenting abilities, our team helps prevent further involvement with child welfare and supports positive, lasting changes in their lives.

 

Wellness Team

The Wellness Team provides culturally relevant programs and support services to promote holistic well-being within the community. This team consists of:

• Family Wellness Worker – Supports families through programs that enhance their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

• Men’s Wellness Worker – Provides men with resources and programs that encourage healing, self-improvement, and cultural awareness.

• Youth Prevention Worker – Engages youth in activities designed to build life skills, strengthen cultural identity, and promote positive lifestyle choices.

Through workshops, traditional teachings, and community engagement, our Wellness Team fosters resilience and empowerment across all age groups.

 

Justice Department

The Justice Department works directly with corrections and probation services to support clients navigating the legal system. Our justice worker assists individuals with their probation orders, ensuring compliance while also focusing on rehabilitation and healing. Through personalized healing plans, we help clients on their journey toward recovery, accountability, and reintegration into the community.​
