B.C. FamilyNet

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.

We would love to hear from more families and individuals as we seek to rebuild FamilyNet as a major uniting force representing families, adults, youth and children in defense of community living in B. C. Our Board is committed to listening to all family perspectives. The differing needs and desires of different families and individuals are all equally worthy of our respect and consideration and we will try to present their issues and concerns to government through firm, proactive advocacy efforts. Our goal is to promote consensus and common-sense solutions, to operate in an open, transparent and inclusive manner and to stand up and speak strongly on behalf of families when we need to.
