Mandate Statement:
Surrounded by Cedar Child & Family Services will provide child and family services rooted in cultural values and beliefs to restore and enhance the strength and resiliency in the urban Aboriginal community.

Vision Statement:
Our vision is of healthy children who will grow up connected to their families, communities, and culture. We will work together toward the day all children and families have skills, knowledge, education and support to ensure their children and their children’s children will not enter the child welfare or justice system.

Services:
SCCFS provides delegated (statutory) services, cultural programs and reconnection / counselling support to urban Indigenous children, youth and families in the Victoria capital region.

We work in partnership with other urban and on-reserve agencies, educational / health institutions and communities to provide co-coordinated preventative and early intervention (voluntary support and foster care) and guardianship services to urban Aboriginal children and families.
