Kanaweyimik believes children should remain with their parents as long as they can be safe and cared for but there are times when they have to be removed from their parents' care temporarily while we work with the parents to overcome their barriers to being effective parents. During this time, we offer supports to the parents, arrange for and supervise regular visits. During this time we also offer emergency foster care for the children while we work with the family to reunite the family.

- Culturally appropriate services are available on an emergent basis at anytime of the day.
