FamilyNet
About this resource
The goal of FamilyNet is to be a provincial voice for children and youth with disabilities, and adults with developmental disabilities and their family and friends. Based on what we hear from you, and what we experience ourselves, we present issues and concerns to Community Living BC, the Ministry of Social Development and other ministries as needed. Our intent, always, is to be problem-solvers, working to help make things better.
Family Net is an independent provincial network that provides a provincial voice for children and youth with special needs, adults with developmental disabilities and their families.
We present the issues and concerns of these children, adults and their families to the Ministry of Children and Family Development and other relevant ministries, agencies and organizations. For a complete history visit the history page.
We influence how supports and services for children and youth with special needs, adults with developmental disabilities and their families are planned, provided and delivered. We network with each other and with the community at large regarding relevant and emerging issues affecting us.
