In its approach to family-centered care, The Montreal Children's Hospital advocates for families and patients and ensures that they have the opportunities to take an active role in the delivery of care at the hospital.

The Family Advisory Forum (FAF) is a group of parents, family members and caregivers of children who have been cared for or are being cared for at the hospital. The goal of the FAF is to improve the care and services offered at The Children's.

• represent parents on different committees and take part in various projects
• help families share their ideas
• make suggestions to staff about issues of concern to children and their families

Parents, family members and caregivers who are interested in joining or learning more about the Family Advisory Forum can contact the FAF at (514) 412-4400, ext. 28737 or fcf_faf@muhc.mcgill.ca.
