PAFN: Empowering Lifelong Support and Inclusion
Pacific Autism Family Network's (PAFN) core purpose is to be a knowledge centre: bringing together state-of-the-art resources for research, information, learning, assessment, treatment and support; and building capacity to address the lifespan needs of Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent individuals. We are proud to offer spokes spanning British Columbia with each location offering a variety of resources across the lifespan.
PAFN takes pride in establishing strategic partnerships to support meaningful inclusion. By fostering these partnerships and continuously evolving our services, we remain dedicated to promoting understanding, acceptance, and empowerment for neurodivergent individuals, ensuring they receive the comprehensive support and resources they deserve throughout their lives.
