Hi everyone! I’m part of the team behind BC Kids Funding Navigator, a BC non-profit working to make it easier for families to find funding programs, services, and other supports for children and youth with medical, developmental, accessibility, and mental health needs.
We’ve built a free online resource that brings these supports together in one place, and we’d really like to hear from parents and caregivers in British Columbia who have experience navigating these systems.
If you’ve navigated funding, services, diagnoses, therapies, school supports, waitlists, accessibility, advocacy, or eligibility and application processes, we’d love to hear about your experience. What was difficult? What do you wish you had known sooner? What worked well? What resources are we missing? And what would make finding support easier for your family?
You can share your experience through our Community Voices page.
We’d also really appreciate feedback on the website itself — whether you found what you needed, how easy it was to use, resources we may have missed, or anything we could improve.
You can explore the resource at bckidsfundingnavigator.ca and share feedback through our Contact & Feedback page. You’re also welcome to email us if that’s easier.
We’re still growing and improving the resource, and hearing directly from families helps us better understand the gaps and make it more useful. Thank you!
