SUMMARY:Aging Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:We cannot slow the aging process in ourselves or in the people we care for! As we get older\, our ability to care for our family member becomes more and more difficult.

What can we do to make the future easier? Connecting with other families in similar situations is the best way to problem solve and figure out what will work best for our specific situations. Join our call with other “mature” parents and caregivers and we can problem solve together! \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nYou are invited to join FSI CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS\, a private Facebook Group intended to continue conversations of support or provide an alternative platform for support. www.facebook.com/groups/fsicontinuingconversations/ \nAfter the session you are encouraged to share your feedback.

SUMMARY:Substance Use Recovery: A Personal Account from the Front Lines
DESCRIPTION:Brian Dean Williams brings years of frontline experience supporting individuals with mental health and substance use challenges. Like many in this field\, his early career took a personal toll—leading him to face his own struggles with substance use as a way of coping with stress and moral injury. \n\n\n\n\nIn this session\, Brian offers a heartfelt and honest account of that journey: the challenges he faced\, how his work intersected with his personal struggles\, and the path he took toward healing. His story is one of resilience\, insight\, and hope—for himself and for other frontline workers navigating similar experiences. \n\n\n\n\nIn the second half of the session\, Brian will share practical strategies that have supported not only his own recovery but also the well-being of dozens of frontline workers he’s guided through therapy\, clinical supervision\, workshops\, and retreats. He’ll introduce a compassionate framework to understand the full spectrum of substance use and offer tools to respond skillfully—whether supporting ourselves or others. \n \n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\n\nRecognize the unique risks that frontline service workers face in developing problematic substance use\nIdentify early warning signs that may indicate personal struggles with substance use\nDevelop a deeper understanding of the spectrum of substance use and learn how to respond skillfully and compassionately—both to themselves and others\nBecome familiar with practical resources and evidence-informed models for addressing problematic substance use\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the presenter \n\n\n\n\nBrian Dean Williams is a registered clinical counsellor and approved clinical supervisor. Brian has worked on the frontlines for 28 years with folks struggling with mental health\, substance use\, housing\, and marginalization. He has worked in the downtown eastside in Vancouver\, and in small First Nations (Indigenous) communities. Brian’s main modalities are narrative therapy and Buddhist psychology\, although he also draws from other collaborative forms of counselling and community work. He has taught at Correctional Services of Canada\, Raincity Housing\, Vancouver Coastal Health\, the Kitasoo Xai’xais First Nation\, and many more. Brian lives on the traditional unceded territories of the shíshálh Nation with his wife and three kids\, where he loves mountain biking\, playing hockey / basketball\, and singing with his community. www.briandeanwilliams.com \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Reactive Behaviours
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes our loved ones communicate their needs in ways that are hard to understand — through what we often call “reactive behaviors” or behaviors that challenge us. These might stem from things like sensory overload\, limited language\, anxiety\, or other unmet needs. \nAs caregivers\, it can feel overwhelming — but you’re not alone. Join our bi-weekly Family Hangout where caregivers come together to share experiences\, support one another\, and explore tools and strategies that others have found helpful. These conversations are rooted in the belief that all behaviour has meaning and that\, as trusted adults\, we can model self-regulation\, adapt our environments\, and work toward meeting the needs behind the behaviour. \nThis call now brings together families from two former groups — Complex Behaviours and Non-Speaking Autism. We welcome all who are navigating this journey and want to learn and connect in a supportive\, non-judgmental space. Let’s come together\, listen\, share\, and build a more inclusive and compassionate path forward — one where everyone’s needs are understood and valued. \nCLICK TO REGISTER\nFamily Support Institute of BC (FSI) is a provincial not-for-profit society committed to supporting families who have a family member with a disability. FSI is unique in Canada and the only grass roots family to family organization that has a broad volunteer base.\nFSI SUPPORTS AND SERVICES ARE FREE TO ANY FAMILY \n  \nYou are invited to join FSI CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS\, a private Facebook Group intended to continue conversations of support or provide an alternative platform for support. www.facebook.com/groups/fsicontinuingconversations/ \nAfter the session you are encouraged to share your feedback.
