LIFE
SHARING NETWORK
Life Sharing means living with and sharing all of
life’s experiences together and forming a supportive
and caring relationship.
Life Sharing is a three-way relationship between you, the person
with disabilities/their family and BACI. Each of the members has a
role to play in the relationship, and each member comes to the
relationship with a set of hopes, dreams, and expectations.
While every life sharing relationship is unique, there are some
hopes and expectations that are common, such as the hope of a good
life lived with purpose and the expectation to be treated and
supported with respect.
For more information on Life Sharing and BACI, please see
