This site is the home page for the Laichwiltach Family Life Society in Campbell River. This society is organized and run by members of three local bands in an effort to identify needs and provide support. Through the organization, First Nations community members are able to access a variety of services to help promote healthy lifestyles and a healthy home for their families.
When we look at the residual effects of residential schools, we can have a better understanding of the reasons why so many members of First Nations communities experience challenge living healthy lifestyles. The cycle needs to stop. The Laichwiltach Family Life Society is an example of how the members of the bands themselves are trying to reach out to their people, through partnership with community programs, to end the cycle. Very proactive!
