Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society (FVACFSS) is a fully delegated Aboriginal child welfare agency providing culturally appropriate and holistic services through prevention, community development and child welfare programs to Aboriginal (Status, Non-Status, On Reserve, Off Reserve, Stó:lō and other First Nation, Inuit, and Métis) children, youth and their families residing throughout the Fraser Valley.

Xyolhemeylh is a Halq’emeylem word that describes the specific relationship between someone who requires care and someone who provides care. It describes our organization and is a realtionship based on Caring, Respect, and Love. Our programs and services are created and executed with a special attention on strengthening culture and identity. We focus on keeping families together, reintegrating children back with their families, and discovering and strengthening cultural connections.

FVACFSS is a non-profit service delivery organization incorporated under the Societies Act and governed by a Board of Directors comprised of nine individuals elected by members of our Stakeholder communities. Due to this, we are a public society, and you can become a member if you are an aboriginal person over the ages 18 and live on a reserve within our geographic service area.
