Family Support & Navigation Services
Amina Hagi
Warm, practical support for families finding their way.
Every family deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported.
I support individuals and families through compassionate, person-centred guidance, meaningful connections, and access to community resources — creating welcoming spaces where families can connect, build confidence, and feel a sense of belonging.
Meeting families where they are.
I'm a Child & Youth Practitioner, a mom of four, and the person behind Family Support & Navigation Services.
My passion comes from understanding how much support, connection, and community matter in our everyday lives. I believe in meeting families where they are — recognizing their unique needs and strengths, and helping them find the resources and connections that work for them.
Through compassionate, person-centred support, I hope to make a positive difference for families, while creating opportunities for mothers and girls to connect, learn, and grow together.
Services
Counselling & Emotional Support
A safe, understanding space to talk through whatever you're carrying — the stress, the worry, or the weight of holding everything together. I listen without judgment and walk alongside you with warmth and patience, at your own pace. Sometimes the first step toward feeling lighter is simply being truly heard.
System Navigation
The system can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to find the right support for your family. My work isn't about creating something new, but helping families connect with the resources and services that already exist, understand their options, and feel confident navigating the system independently. I believe every family can find their way forward with the right support and guidance.
Translation Somali / English
Clear communication in both Somali and English, so nothing gets lost along the way. I help families understand appointments, forms, and conversations with schools, clinics, and community services — making sure your voice is heard and your questions are answered. Language should never stand between your family and the support you deserve.
Respite Care & Family Support
In-home care that gives overwhelmed mothers room to breathe. I come to you and care for your children — ages 0 to 12 — so you can rest, catch up, or simply take a quiet moment for yourself. A short break can make all the difference, and every mother deserves that chance to pause.
Respite Care · for mothers
A season of rest, balance, and support.
Motherhood is beautiful — and it can be exhausting. I come to you so you can pause and breathe: warm, supervised care for your children at home, and a listening presence for you.

What families & partners say
Being part of Empowered Roots has been such an amazing experience. It brings moms together in a relaxed, welcoming environment where we connect, build friendships, and have fun while our kids do the same. Amina pays attention to every little detail and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere — her creativity and passion truly shine through.
My daughter absolutely loved the sisterhood she built through the hikes. I've seen her grow in confidence and responsibility, build meaningful friendships, and connect with other girls in an environment where she feels comfortable and supported. A beautiful experience — I'd recommend it to any mom.
Abdul and Amina have been excellent mentors to our students. Through the Youth Auto Partnership Program, they provide valuable hands-on learning experiences that help students develop practical skills, strengthen their confidence, and explore future career opportunities. Their dedication and support have made a meaningful impact on our students, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, and mindset they need to be successful in the future.
My name is Eniola, and I'm proud to share my experience with the Empowered on the Road Youth Auto Training Program, a collaboration between Black Gold Auto and Empowered on the Road. Since joining in November 2024, I've gained valuable hands-on experience in oil changes, tire rotations, tire repairs, brake pad and rotor replacements, and basic vehicle maintenance. My favourite part has been developing the confidence to work on vehicles independently. Special thanks to Abdul, the mechanic and trainer at Black Gold Auto, for his guidance and patience. This program empowers young people, both male and female, to gain practical skills, explore the automotive industry, and build confidence. I'm truly grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend it to other young people.
