Sharing the findings from Phase 1 of the Family Voices Project with the individuals we met last year, as well as those we have yet to engage with.
The Family Voices Project is a collaborative initiative aimed at gathering the invaluable insights, experiences, and desires of families with children and youth who have disabilities. Amplifying the voices of real families is at the heart of what we do. The Family Voices Project is a community engagement initiative by the Family Support Institute of BC (FSI), aimed at facilitating conversations with individuals and families with lived experience of disability in BC.
In 2025, we are excited to continue our journey of connecting and learning together in community. In this phase of the project, we report back to the communities we visited last year as well as commence engagement with communities we did not visit last year. Our virtual Report Back sessions will take place online on Zoom, facilitated by the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship research team, in collaboration with Family Voices team members.
These virtual sessions are open to all self-advocates and families supporting individuals across the lifespan, from any community in BC, whether or not you attended a community engagement session in Phase 1.

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.
