If families need additional support, FILUs make connections between family members and cultural advisors, Elders, or counselling services and programs, depending on the family’s wishes.

Family Information Liaison Units (FILUs) are a
one-stop information service for all families of missing and murdered Indigenous people.

ATC has provided the FILUs team with a quiet, private, and comforting space to meet with families and connect them with services.

FILUs work directly with families in a culturally grounded and trauma-informed manner to gather the information family members are seeking from government agencies about the loss of their loved ones, including assistance in addressing outstanding questions.

FILUs work directly with family members to coordinate information gathering from a wide range of federal, provincial, and territorial government agencies and services, including:

  • the criminal justice system (police, prosecutions, corrections)

  • social services

  • coroners

  • child protection

  • health services

  • other Family Information Liaison Units across the country
