Why: Family Councils, as prescribed by the care home regulations, are most successful when certain key factors are present. This session will start at the beginning to define what a family council is, and provide insight to making it the best it can be.

Her Father is in long-term care, and she is the Chair of their family council. She is also the VP/Secretary of the provincial association of family councils (ILTCCABC)
