Miskanawah Community Services Association

Miskanawah responds with cultural solutions to emerging social issues and provides supportive services that strengthen children, youth, families, and communities. Our culturally grounded framework of practice and expertise in evidence-informed western practices uniquely positions us to support Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in our commuity.

We offer a continuum of services from early intervention with newborns through to family-based care for youth, and intensive support for families in crisis. Individuals are supported in accessing their community, establishing social and professional supports, and connecting with cultural resources and practices that ultimately enhance individual and family wellness and reduce isolation.

Our Vision

Children, youth, and families thrive within a culturally responsive community.

Our Mission 

Guided by Indigenous teachings, Miskanawah offers evidence-informed supportive services to people in the Calgary area as they strengthen their circles of self, familiy, community, and culture.
