Reimagining Support

2026–2027 Workshop & Connection Series

Thank you to Halton Region for being able to provide Free Monthly Workshops and Peer to Peer Connection Calls. 

Welcome to our new community learning space! This year, we’ve redesigned our calendar to offer flexible, accessible learning and connection opportunities tailored specifically for parents, caregivers, and educators of neurodiverse children and youth.

Every month features three distinct ways to engage, learn, and find your community:

  • Lunch & Learn Sessions (Virtual): 60-minute, bite-sized, practical strategies you can implement right away. Perfect for a quick midday reset.

  • Evening Workshops (Virtual): Deep-dive sessions with guest experts exploring complex topics in detail, complete with dedicated Q&A time.

  • Peer-to-Peer Connection Calls (Virtual): A dedicated hour immediately following our evening workshops to drop the formal learning and just talk, share, and breathe with parents who truly understand.

November Peer-to-Peer Connection Call

Time:12:00-1:00PM

Report card season is here! Whether progress reports bring excitement, questions, or a few nervous butterflies, figuring out how to talk to your child about them can feel a bit overwhelming.

Grab your lunch and join us for our November Peer-to-Peer Connection Call. This is a relaxed, welcoming space designed just for parents and caregivers to connect, share experiences, and support one another. There’s no formal presentation or pressure—just an open conversation about how to read between the lines, celebrate your child’s unique wins, and have meaningful, stress-free conversations about their learning journey.

Come share your tips, hear how other families navigate report card time, or simply listen in and take a breath with parents who truly understand.
