We strongly believe that by building strong support networks and raising self-esteem, we can help to minimize or even eliminate the need for family interventions. To this end, GCFSS offers Family Support such as workshops, extra-curricular activities, and support groups. Read more about Preventative Programs.
We host community-based events so we can honour Gitxsan culture and bring people together. See how by visiting our Calendar of upcoming events.
Despite best prevention efforts, at times the stresses from past traumas and injustices can be overwhelming. That’s when our trained social workers can help, by providing guardianship services, counselling, foster home recruiting and placement, and advocacy for families and children in need.

At the core of our work is a commitment to providing solutions that respect the inherent strength of our traditional Gitxsan support system while suiting the modern lifestyles of our people today. To this end, we do research into the Wilp-based system of care. Read more about our Cultural Research initiatives.
