COVID-19

The Family Support Institute is a volunteer-powered network across BC that provides peer-to-peer support, information, events and training and community.

Since the beginning of March 2020, the Family Support Institute has been compiling relevant and accurate COVID-19 information, resources, and updates to better support families across the province. FSI has also been deeply listening to the family voice as it pertains to their biggest challenges, fears and struggles during these uncertain times.

Below are resources that FSI has put together in response to families’ needs.

We are continually updating information on this page as we receive it. Please be sure to check back regularly. Also please check out FSI’s Facebook page for regular updates.
