\nThe Niagara Chapter of Native Women Inc. was founded with the collective goal of enhancing, promoting, and fostering the social, economic, cultural, and political well-being of Indigenous women and their families.

\nThe Indigenous Advocate plays a key role in strengthening the collaborative partnership with FACS Niagara. The purpose of the service is to work jointly with FACS and the Lead Indigenous Advocate to support Indigenous children in care to maintain or reconnect with their birth families, bands, and home communities, and to assist with reunification where appropriate. The role also focuses on working collaboratively to secure Indigenous kinship, customary care, and foster placements within the Niagara region. In addition, the Indigenous Advocate helps improve services for Indigenous children and families involved with FACS Niagara by linking them to culturally appropriate programs, services, and activities that support the restoration or strengthening of cultural identity. This includes advocating for and supporting families connected to FACS Niagara as well as working with the Unity Team of FACS Niagara, to enhance overall service quality through system navigation, coordination, and ongoing collaboration.<\/p>\n\n
