About this Event
Parents with Kids with Disabilities
Get the Supports You and Your Child Need
Join us for an informative and supportive workshop created specifically for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities. This event is designed to provide families with practical information, helpful resources, and strategies to better understand and support their child’s needs while also taking care of their own mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
During the workshop, parents will have an opportunity to:
- Learn about available community, educational, behavioral health, and disability-related resources.
- Explore ways to advocate effectively for their child’s individual needs, services, accommodations, and supports.
- Learn practical strategies for managing stress, frustration, challenging behaviors, and everyday family responsibilities.
- Discuss the importance of self-care and maintaining the parent’s own mental and physical wellness.
- Identify resources that can help families navigate school services, disability programs, community supports, and other systems of care.
- Learn strategies for building a stronger support network and connecting with other parents and caregivers.
- Discuss ways to promote their child’s independence, confidence, communication, social development, and quality of life.
- Receive information about resources that may help families feel more informed, empowered, and supported.
What Parents Can Expect
This will be a welcoming, judgment-free environment where parents can ask questions, share experiences, learn from others, and connect with helpful resources. The goal is to ensure parents do not feel alone while navigating the challenges and responsibilities that can come with raising and supporting a child with a disability.
Come learn. Come connect. Come get supported.
Because supporting your child starts with making sure you have the support you need, too.
