Drawing on findings from a qualitative inquiry undertaken with the Aboriginal Infant Development Program (AIDP), this paper investigates how their early child development practices respond to the diversity, complexity and specificities of Indigenous families' lives. The paper discusses how a strengths-based relational approach to early childhood intervention provides a critical counter narrative to Indigenous mothers' feelings of disempowerment and stigmatization in relation to raising their children; how the increasingly complex relationship between the AIDP and the child welfare system risks perpetuating health inequities for Indigenous children; and the relevance of these findings for researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers working with families involved with the child welfare system.
