Aboriginal Infant Development Program

Our Aboriginal Infant Development Support Workers support Indigenous families with children from birth to three years who are at risk of, or already have, a delay in development.

It is our mission to provide support for families with Indigenous children through:

• Fostering and nurturing a safe and healthy family environment between families and community services

• Empowering families to become active participants in the community 

The Aboriginal Infant Development Program can offer unique programs to help further your child's skills, abilities, and wellness through:

• Nobody’s Perfect Parenting

• Aboriginal Parent-Child Mother Goose

• Circle of Security Parenting Program

• Ages and Stages Questionnaire

• Infant Massage

The benefits for both parent and child include:

• Meeting other families in the Vancouver community

• One to one consultations with AIDP Support Workers

• Home visits

• Informal assessments of child and family needs that are culturally sensitive and meaningful

• Positive parent-child relationships

• Cultural knowledge and activities

• Appropriate referrals when necessary or as requested
