Le'lumilh Caregiving Program
Caregiver Support and Indigenous Services
Provided by Kw’umut Lelum
Provides financial support, training, education, cultural, wellness supports and respite care to persons interested in becoming caregivers to children or youth.
The purpose of Lel'umilh is to assist in a smooth transition for children or youth and caregivers to provide continuity, consistency and permanency in a family setting. The Le'lumilh Program provides training and support to persons interesting in becoming caregivers to children or youth who are, for various reasons, unable to remain at home.
Once approved, caregivers are responsible for the daily nurturing or, otherwise, parenting of a child or youth who is in custody of Kw'umut Lelum, either by court order or under an agreement with the child(s) own parent(s).
