WHO WE ARE
Attawapiskat Child & Family Wellbeing Services
Attawapiskat Child and Family Wellbeing Services (ACFWS) is a community-based organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the wellbeing of children, youth, and families of Attawapiskat First Nation, located in the remote James Bay coast of Northern Ontario.
Rooted in Cree culture, traditions, and values, our organization works in partnership with the community to provide culturally sensitive services that keep families together and ensure children grow up safe, healthy, and connected to their identity and heritage.
We operate under the principle that the wellbeing of a child is best supported within their family, community, and cultural context — guided by the wisdom of Elders and the resilience of the Attawapiskat people.
