Call for Participants: Family Member Focus Groups
Call for Participants: Family Member Focus Groups
Are you a family member of someone with an intellectual disability? Has your family worked with a navigator to access programs or services? Participate in a focus group!
Inclusion Canada, People First of Canada, and the University of British Columbia’s Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship are doing a research project.
They want to understand barriers to accessing federal services and programs for people with disabilities in Canada.
They also want to identify and share best practices about using navigators to help people with disabilities access services and programs.
A navigator is a person who helps you access programs and services. They can help you understand what programs and services are available. A navigator can help you make informed choices. They can help you apply for programs and services that you want. Navigators are sometimes called service coordinators or brokers.
The focus groups will happen online over Zoom. Each participant will be provided a $75 honorarium.
When are the focus groups?
Tuesday, March 5, 6pm – 7:30pm Eastern time (English group)
Wednesday, March 13, 6pm-7:30pm Eastern time (French group)
Thursday, March 14, 2pm-3:30pm Eastern time (English group)
