FAMILY & CHILDREN SERVICES

 

MISSION STATEMENT


The Mission of the Family & Children’s Services program(s) are to assist Wichita tribal families to become self-sufficient and productive community members. By providing “temporary assistance” through personal contact, individualized case management, referrals for counseling and/or other related services, child care, financial assistance (for those who qualify and/or meet criteria), victim resources, youth services, court advocacy etc., Individual programs can provide the resources that will help stabilize an individual or a family in a crisis. This compilation of resources should enable tribal members to stand on their own abilities & talents, and assist them in achieving educational or job related skills that will help them become employable, so that they can provide the necessary support for their children and/or families. This will help them move toward self-sufficiency and create a more stable home environment. The following programs are located in the Family & Children’s Services building and can be reached at this address-
