We exist to support individuals and families to be connected and fully valued in their communities. Explore our programs and digital resources to get started and connect with us to talk to someone.
During these uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to reassure you that FSI has remained open and fully functional. Our volunteer Resource Parents are engaged and willing to support you via telephone, email, text or online video meetings.
We know that at this time, isolation is a risk and we are doing all we can to ensure that families stay connected.

Did you have a great experience with FSI? Please let us know!
As a provincial organization FSI acknowledges that our work spans across all of the traditional, ancestral, and unceded Indigenous territories in BC. Therefore, we respectfully honour all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, as well as their ancestors, who have lived here and cared for these lands. It is with gratitude that we can live, learn and do our work in the province now known as British Columbia.
