About Us
Our mission is to build on individual and family strengths which support growth and healthy lifestyles.
Since opening our first program in 1974 Comox Valley Family Services has grown and evolved into a supportive, caring, and thriving social service organization that provides a comprehensive range of programs and services.
We are a non-profit, charitable society governed by a volunteer board of directors. We are proud to be accredited through two agencies – CARF (Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) and the BC Association of Family Resource Programs.
Our priority over the past 50 years has been to offer support services that can help families, children, individuals, and our community flourish.
We provide services to individuals and families in the Comox Valley and surrounding areas – The City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, and the Village of Cumberland. Other areas include the northern communities between the valley and Oyster River and southern communities as far as the Union Bay area.
About our Team
The CVFSA team includes the Board of Directors, the Executive Director, administration, program management and staff, and our dedicated volunteers.

Code of Ethics
Our administration team is located on the upper level of the main building at 1415 Cliffe Avenue.
Zero-Tolerance Physical or Verbal Abuse Policy
We understand that people can become angry when they feel that matters about which they feel strongly about, are not being dealt with as they wish. If that anger escalates into aggression we consider unacceptable, it may result in your removal from our space/property.
Culture & Diversity
We acknowledge that human differences come in many forms, including race, heritage, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, faith, disability, or status as a veteran. We recognize that this diversity is a source of strength that promotes a culture of excellence, innovation, flexibility and adaptability.
Donations truly make a difference.
