NONG SILA

NONG SILA (Many Grandparents, Many Children):
A Community-Based Model for Urban Aboriginal Adoptions
 
The NONG SILA consultations will help us develop a culturally-relevant adoption strategy for off-reserve Aboriginal families in Victoria. This research is very important because there is a lack of knowledge about the specific experiences of Aboriginal youth, parents, grandparents and service providers in the foster care and adoptions system.

Participants were asked to share their experiences about the foster care and adoptions system in Victoria in a 3 hour focus group at Surrounded by Cedar Child and Family Services. 

Phase 2 of this project will begin again in the near future. 
Thank you for your interest.
