FAMILY CAREGIVERS

To improve the quality of life for family caregivers through support, information, and education. We provide leadership to strengthen the voice of family caregivers and the significance of their role... We began in 1989 as the Family Caregivers' Network Society, a not-for-profit registered charity dedicated 100% to supporting family caregivers - the first organization of its kind in Canada. In 2010 we took on the provincial champion role after the Caregivers Association of BC closed its doors. We transitioned to our new public name in 2014 to better reflect serving family and friend caregivers across the province... We understand the common feelings of isolation, grief, compassion, joy, and exhaustion faced by many family and friend caregivers. FCBC provides direct support to caregivers through one-on-one emotional support, caregiver support groups, health care system navigation, and free educational resources.
