Blue Thunderbird Family Care's vision is for an indigenous community where children and families will thrive and care providers will reclaim traditional ways of providing care, safety, health, belonging and connectedness.
Blue Thunderbird Family Care helps with the demands placed on families in caring for their children by offering a range of programs including the following:
In keeping with Blue Thunderbird Family Care's vision of a continuum of culturally based care for Indigenous children in the care of Manitoba's Child and Family Service Agencies, Blue Thunderbird provides two short-term reunification homes as alternative placements in the Province's emergency placement system.
The homes for this program are located in the City of Winnipeg and, are licensed and operated in accordance with provincial standards. Each home is staffed on a 24/7 basis with two staff, known as aunties and uncles, providing care at all times.
The Edison program is a supported short-term foster home with a focus on parent partnering and reunification for Indigenous families.
At-Risk Youth Program - 3 Bed Home
An Indigenous Directed Response to Manitoba's Strategy on Sexually Exploited Youth
Located in the core area of Winnipeg, the project is based on a supported foster home model of care with a house mother or granny who, supported by Aunties (staff), provides out-of-home respite care on a 24/7 basis for children not in the care of CFS.
Working with Indigenous families to reclaim traditional ways of providing care, safety, belonging, connectedness and healthy interdependence.
