Helping families

The Family Information Liaison Unit is a single point of contact for families of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

We help families:

  • connections to counselling, spiritual support and Elders
  • information about a loved one who is missing and murdered in another jurisdiction, through Family Information Liaison Units in other provinces and territories
