"Provide approaches that are suitable for the nature of the kind of stresses, for instance in rural and remote communities families experience a type of stress maybe related to high unemployment and a lack of resources, and we need to prepare people for practice in those kind of communities," he said. "The urban centres too, we have an increasing cultural mix living in the cities that unprecedented, there been a growth in immigrants and refugees, according to CBC. There been a fair number of First Nations, Metis people migrating to the city to find employment or education." Fuchs said it would be beneficial if child and family services could work more closely with other agencies including addictions, justice, probation and housing. More than 10,000 children are in the care of Child and Family Services in Manitoba and recent attacks on girls in care have many questioning how CFS works. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
