Family Advisory Council

Partnering with Families to Shape JMCC Services

At JMCC, we believe that families are essential partners in care. The Family Advisory Council (FAC) brings together parents and caregivers of JMCC clients to share their lived experiences and provide meaningful input that helps shape the Centre’s programs, policies, and priorities.

Through ongoing dialogue with JMCC leadership and staff, the FAC ensures that the needs, challenges, and perspectives of families are heard and valued. By working together, we create a more inclusive, responsive, and supportive environment for children, youth, and their caregivers.
