Family Advisory Council
Children's Special Health Services supports a nine member Family Advisory Council that meets four times each year. This council is the primary way that CSHS assures family involvement in program and policy. Families advise staff about services for children with special health care needs and their families.
A booklet developed by members of the Family Advisory Council is available through CSHS.
