Know your rights. Find your voice. Be understood.
Advocating For Someone You Love Can Be a Lonely Battle
When someone you love has a disability, you want nothing more than to protect them, keeping them safe and secure, even after you’re gone.
But knowing how to do that isn't always clear. There's a lot of confusing paperwork to fill out, processes that are hard to understand and never enough time to figure it all out. What's worse, you may feel like you don't even have the authority to advocate for your loved one on your own.
Whether you’re caring for a young child, supporting a teenager as they move into adulthood, helping an adult family member, or advocating for yourself, we’re here to help.
Let's Share The Burden Together
Trying to do what's best can often feel like an uphill battle. You want to feel confident you're making the right decisions, but the amount of work can be so overwhelming.
You shouldn't have to do this alone.
You should be able to understand the paperwork you're filling out, know your rights as a guardian or trustee, and easily get clear plan for your loved one no matter what happens.
We Understand What You're Going Through
We’re parents of children with disabilities too.
We know the battles you face and how consuming daily life can be, making it hard to find the time to understand and fill out lengthy complicated paperwork. We understand that it's not easy.
Since 2009, we have helped hundreds of families with guardianship and trusteeship applications and reviews, as well as disability supports.
We’d be honoured to help you too.
