This guide was developed as a resource for individuals offering support to families of children with medical complexities.   It contains evidence based knowledge, promising practices and program development tools to address the social, emotional and economic impact on families. This resource is offered to you through the Navigator Program team, funded in part by the Government of Canada's Social Development Partnerships Program - Children and Families Component, intended to help address a critical gap in supports for parents of children with medical complexities. This project is offered in partnership with CHEO, Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre and Children's Healthcare Canada.
