Description
The bədaʔchəlh program supports children and families by promoting family and cultural preservation, health, and resilience. Bədaʔchəlh offers comprehensive support services to help children and families thrive. Supporting youth through foster placements helps keep children within our community.

Who Can Use It
Children and families on the Tulalip Reservation or Tulalip Tribal members in need of support services, including youth at risk, those in CPS cases, and foster youth transitioning to independence.

How to Join

As a Foster Caregiver: Complete a background check and home study. For more information, call 360-716-4047.
Advocacy Committee: Families with open CPS cases or Youth In Need of Care dependencies can request meetings to discuss concerns. Call 360-716-3284.

Costs
There are no costs for eligible families and youth.

What to Expect
Case management can help you navigate resources and connect with the right support, such as assistance with placement and guidance for important transitions, like youth aging out of care. There are also community events that build connections to reinforce cultural values and belonging. An advocacy and grievance process helps families to work with staff on dependency or care issues.

Now there is no one who could catch up with us.

There is something you can do.
Strong community connections are key to addressing this crisis. When neighbors and local groups unite, they create a support network that can identify and help those at risk. Small acts—checking in, sharing resources, offering support—make a real difference. These connections don’t just help in emergencies; they build resilience and prevent addiction from taking root.
