Beyond Speaking Up: How Family Councils Turn Individual Voices into Collective Change
August 26 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Follow-Up to “Speaking Up or Staying Silent? The Reality of Family Advocacy in Long-Term Care”
Something many family members have experienced but rarely discuss openly: the fear that speaking up could negatively affect the care of someone they love. What is often missing from this conversation is the recognition that long-term care already has a legislated mechanism designed specifically to address these concerns: the Family Council.
Join us for this insightful and empowering free Zoom session with Lisa Dawson, President of the Independent Long-Term Care Councils Association of BC, as we explore how Family Councils create a safe, collaborative way for families, residents, and care teams to work together to improve quality of life in long-term care.
You’ll discover:
• Why families often hesitate to advocate and how to overcome that fear.
• The important role Family and Resident Councils play in creating meaningful change.
• How collaboration between families and care teams leads to better outcomes for everyone.
• Practical ways to turn individual concerns into positive, lasting improvements.
Whether you’re a family caregiver, long-term care staff member, healthcare professional, or simply passionate about person-centred care, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and inspired.
