Women are frequently the primary caregivers in family situations. Women are also the highest users of social services, if not for their own needs, then for the children, adults, and elderly for whom they are the primary caregivers. Aboriginal women and their dependents also have the highest rate of poverty in Manitoba and in Canada. Aboriginal children have been overrepresented in the Manitoba child welfare system. There are multiple forms of social marginalization in communities that contribute to the experience of social exclusion for mother-led families with these multiple stressors. While many social workers are trained with an appreciation for social structural inequities and the effects of social marginalization on individual and family circumstances. This study draws on narrative methods and case study series inquiry to explore women's experiences with their social workers from Child and Family Services (CFS) and Employment and Income Assistance (EIA). The results suggest that the Aboriginal mothers in this study frequently experienced judgement, lack of empathy and understanding, and inequitable access to resources from these agencies. Their experiences and voices were repressed. The study also examined the mandated nature of these organizations including policies and practices that workers identified in their narratives. The conclusion suggests that CFS and EIA workers need to advocate on behalf of Aboriginal mothers in their organizations. Mothers' experiences have not been told or acknowledged by CFS and EIA. Adequate support and resources are desirable over child apprehensions according to mothers and some workers. And finally, workers and agencies need to be more aware of the enormous power and influence they wield in Aboriginal families particularly given the history of social oppression in our community. The trust has been broken and must be gradually rebuilt through relationships and adequate child care supports for caregivers.
