Supporting Youth and Families Across Jurisdictions

At El Shama Consulting Inc., we proudly partner with Child Welfare and Children & Family Services agencies across provinces to provide responsive, culturally informed, and trauma-aware support for youth and families navigating complex systems.

Our interprovincial services are twofold:

​

​

1. Courtesy Youth & Family Work

​

We provide trained youth and family support workers to assist with:

  • Ongoing check-ins for youth reintegrating with families while under court orders

  • Monitoring and reporting for out-of-province placements

  • Family preservation services focused on stabilizing the home, supporting reunification, and connecting families to local community resources and services

Our approach is relational, strength-based, and always centered on the safety and well-being of the child or youth.

Land Acknowledgement & Community Commitment

 

EL Shama Consulting Inc. acknowledges that we live, work, and serve on Treaty 6 territory, the traditional lands of many First Nations, including the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, and Inuit, and it is also the Métis homeland.

​

We recognize and honor the deep histories, cultures, and contributions of the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for these lands long before colonization. This acknowledgement is more than a formality, it is a living act of respect, learning, and reconciliation.

 

As a Black-led, faith-informed, and community-centered organization, we are committed to building a future where we all live, work, raise families, and worship together in equity and mutual respect. We honor the past not to be held back by it, but to learn from it, grow with it, and move forward with humility and hope.

 

Together, we are part of a beautiful and diverse mosaic, not defined by our differences, but strengthened by them.
