The Disability Support Services Program provides compassionate support to families and individuals with disabilities. Our program delivers person-centered support, empowering individuals to thrive in their community while staying connected to their Mi'kmaw language, culture, and community. We offer referrals, coordination of services, collaboration with community organizations, and promotion of disability awareness and inclusion, all tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and family.

The No'kmaq Family Care Services Program at Nepisulti'kul provides culturally grounded support to families, prioritizing their well-being, and promoting healthy relationships. Our services focus on strengthening family bonds, fostering a supportive community, and connecting families with resources to address their unique needs, while honoring Mi'kmaw culture, language, and traditions.

The Post-Majority Support Services Program supports young adults (19-26) transitioning out of Child & Well Being Services, providing guidance, resources, and connections to promote independence, self-sufficiency, and empowerment. Our services include one-on-one mentoring, education and employment support, access to community resources, and group workshops focused on life skills and goal-setting.

The Band Designate Program advocates for the rights and cultural needs of Eskasoni First Nation’s community members, particularly children, involved with child and well- being services. We ensure children receive culturally appropriate support, stay connected to their community, and maintain cultural connections. Our services include advocacy, cultural guidance, family support, and collaboration with community organizations to provide culturally grounded support.
