The Martin Family Initiative (MFI) is a charity that works alongside First Nations, Inuit and Métis People in Canada to help foster Indigenous children and youth’s education and well-being. MFI works with Indigenous people to adapt successful existing programs and create new programs tailored to local needs.
The MFI Early Years is an innovative evidence-informed program model that seeks to honour parents as their children’s first teachers, support healthy pregnancies and infancy and successful service navigation. It combines home visitation with community-based group events to centralize Indigenous ways of knowing in the context of optimal child development and family well-being.
