About Us

Under the direction of the Minister, Alberta Children and Youth Services offers a range of programs and services for children and families. We support families and communities, helping them to provide nurturing, safe environments for their children. We strive to break the cycles of family violence, abuse and poverty that prevent some children from becoming strong, sound individuals.

The delivery of programs and services is provided in the local offices in the Child and Family Services Authorities (CFSA) and the 18 Delegated First Nation Agencies (DFNA).

On the pages in this section you can find information about the Ministry, links to our business plan and other ministry publications, and you can learn how our Child and Family Service Authority Boards are chosen.
