Stronger Families. Brighter Futures. Put Children First.

The National Parents & Lived Experience Council ensures that the voices of families remain at the heart of our work. Made up of parents, grandparents, caregivers, and adults who experienced family transition during childhood, the Council brings valuable lived experience that helps inform our programs, educational resources, research, and advocacy.

Their perspectives remind us that behind every policy discussion and every statistic is a child and a family navigating real-life challenges. By listening to those who have walked this journey, we are better equipped to promote practical, compassionate, and child-centred solutions that support healthier outcomes for families across Canada.
