In May and June of 2023, we hosted conversations to hear about how there can be a better network of services and supports for children and youth with support needs in Campbell River, Gold River and surrounding areas.
These conversations were designed with the intention of creating inclusive, culturally safe, and accessible spaces to connect. Children and youth with disabilities or support needs are 0-19 years of age, have a disability, diagnosed or undiagnosed, need support, and/or have a possible developmental delay.
We had conversations with:
- Youth, families, and caregivers.
- In Campbell River – Saturday, May 27, 10 am – 12 pm at Laichwiltach Family Life Society (gym)
- Local community service providers.
- In Campbell River – Friday, May 26, 10 am to 12 pm at Laichwiltach Family Life Society (gym)
In each conversation, participants were invited to share their ideas about:
- What services and supports for children and youth with support needs are working well in Campbell River?
- What gaps in services and support exist?
- What does a better network of services and supports look like in Campbell River?
