Family Councils Ontario is always working on new ways to make it easier for caregivers, Family Councils, and long-term care staff to find the information and support they need. Here's a look at three resources we've recently added.
Starting Strong: A Toolkit for New Family Councils
Our Family Council Toolkit
Starting a Family Council can feel like a big undertaking, especially if you're not sure where to begin. Our new toolkit, Starting Strong: A Toolkit for New Family Councils, walks caregivers through the essentials - from understanding what a Family Council is and why it matters, to setting up your first meeting, electing leadership, and building momentum in those early months. It's designed to be a practical, step-by-step companion for anyone taking on this role for the first time.
New eLearning Course: Family Councils Foundations
New e-Learning Content
For caregivers who prefer to learn at their own pace, we've launched a new eLearning course, Family Councils Foundations. The course covers the fundamentals of how Family Councils work, the rights and responsibilities involved, and practical tips for building an effective, sustainable council - all in a format you can work through whenever it suits you.
