ANCR (Child and Family All Nations Coordinated Response Network) delivers centralized, essential intake services that are part of the comprehensive and coordinated child and family services system in the City of Winnipeg. We provide crisis response and intake case services, conduct abuse investigations, and offer preventative programs and services. ANCR is generally the first point of contact with the child and family services system. We provide service 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. ANCR receives both emergency and non-emergency calls, with highly qualified staff making initial assessments and referring callers to ongoing services as appropriate. 

 

ANCR’s goal is to promote and support the safety and wellbeing of children and families by providing culturally appropriate, strength-based child and family intake services. We recognize the role we must take in reconciliation as we embrace and support the inherent right of Indigenous communities to care for and ensure the wellbeing of their children. Our role as a designated intake agency is to commit to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and ensure that we are always acting to end the colonization and multigenerational trauma perpetrated by our system.
