In May of 2000, the Rehabilitation Centre for Children introduced its Family Council. The Council is made up of families, professionals and members of the wider community whose collective mission is to ensure that the principles of family-centred care are promoted, preserved and enhanced at the Rehabilitation Centre for Children.

The Family Council consists of up to 12 members; at least half of whom shall be parents, legal guardians, foster parents or other family members who have had (or continue to have) involvement with the Rehab Centre.

Three of the members are staff of the Centre. It is important that the family members represent the diverse backgrounds, skills, needs and perspectives of the many families who use the Centre's services.

The Family Council meets a minimum of five times yearly. The Council provides feedback, advice and counsel to the management team of the Centre, reports on its activities to the Centre's Board of Directors and involves itself in the Centre's committees as necessary.

The facilitation of linkages between families and the Centre, and community organizations, support groups and associations are also goals of the Council.

The Family Council welcomes your input. If you would like to communicate with us, please send your comments to:
