Family Information Liaison Unit

If you are a family member of an Indigenous woman or girl who is missing or has been murdered, the BC Family Information Liaison Unit (BC FILU) can help you.

Help includes:

• Gathering information about your loved one’s case, including police investigations, coroners' reports and inquests, and court proceedings
• Getting you information about policies and practices, including information about the criminal justice system, police procedures, child and family services, and health and social services
• Providing you information in a compassionate, culturally-sensitive, and trauma-informed manner
• Explaining to you why information may not be available
• Connecting you to services and supports promoting healing and wellness, including referrals to local victim services, cultural supports, and grief counselling.

Family members include both blood relatives and non-blood relatives, such as adopted families, cultural kin, foster care relatives, and chosen family.

BC FILU has offices in Vancouver and Prince George. Family Support Workers may also be able to meet with you in your home community.
