The Family Voices Project is a collaborative initiative aimed at gathering the invaluable insights, experiences, and desires of families with children and youth who have disabilities.
The Family Support Institute of BC (FSI) is on a community engagement journey to gather stories on what has and has not been working in the current system for Children and Youth with Support Needs (CYSN). Welcome to the Family Voices Project!
We want to hear from BC families and youth self-advocates who currently have, or are in need of, CYSN services and supports. Connect with us in-person when we visit your city/community, or connect with us virtually between July and September 2024.
The Children and Youth with Support Needs (CYSN) program through the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) offers various services, including the At Home Program, Autism Funding, respite care, key workers, and some specialized therapies, family support, and medical benefits. CYSN services are for children and youth from birth to 19 years of age who are BC residents. Children and youth eligible for these programs include those with developmental delays, autism, and some complex health needs.
