If you are finding it challenging to access supports for a child with medical complexities, or would like to learn more about how to navigate services and reduce barriers to inclusion, we warmly invite you to join our advocacy team in partnership with BC Complex Kids Society for a presentation and conversation on navigating these barriers together. 🤝

✨ We will share practical information and advocacy strategies that can help, and we also value your lived experience and invite you to share the barriers you are seeing in your own community.
