One of CTN’s Strategic Directions is keeping, ‘People at the centre of what we do’, by providing opportunities for families to shape their experiences with the network and build a sense of community. Our Family Engagement Forum (FEF) is your chance to connect with other CTN families and alumni, while sharing insights that contribute to meaningful change for CTN and those we serve.

Along with our flexible FEF opportunities, we also have a FEF Leadership Team that assists in leading engagement, facilitating discussions and planning of FEF initiatives. Our current FEF Leadership Team includes:

Another way that we engage families is through CTN’s Family Resource, Education and Support Hub (FRESH) Facebook Group. The only membership requirement of the group is that one must be a caregiver of a CTN child or youth.
This group is a dedicated platform designed to foster a responsive and welcoming community for families of kids and youth accessing services and support through CTN. We’re thrilled to offer a vibrant online space where parents, caregivers and guardians of all CTN kids and youth can come together, connect and benefit from invaluable support.
As a member of CTN's FRESH Facebook Group, you'll be able to access resources, guidance and support from a community that understands the unique challenges and triumphs of caring for a child or youth with a disability and/or developmental needs. From practical tips on navigating services to emotional support during challenging times, our platform is here to empower families every step of the way. Learn more about FRESH and how to connect here.
