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.

As a provincial organization, Family Support Institute 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.
