Wikɨmanej Kikmanaq family group circle is a voluntary Mi’kmaw customary program for helping families involved in child welfare matters. The process used reflects Mi’kmaw values, beliefs, traditions, and customs which have been preserved in language and collective cultural identity as Mi’kmaw people. The program is administered by Mi’kmaw Family & Children’s Services of Nova Scotia (MFCS), and referrals may be made by various sources.

Any person who has or is involved with the family may be invited to attend this circle, including those that the family would like to attend. It is important that all family members have an opportunity to take part in the meeting.
