About

The “Apinonchisiwigamik” offers a short & long term placement for children in need of protection and shelter. It serves primarily the community of Poplar River and other SERDC communities. Placements are made through the Southeast Child & Family Services.

The group home provides a mixed educational program which blends the appropriate educational curriculum through the Poplar River school and a cultural component which includes traditional methods, skill and philosophy of living from the surrounding environment.

The facility is licensed and became fully operational in June 2001. There are plans for a new group home in the coming year. Space is limited to 10 placements at a time.
