Upcoming Peer to Peer Sessions:

Free | Monthly | Virtual

Thanks to funding from the Halton Region, we’re excited to offer free monthly Peer-to-Peer Connection Calls for parents and caregivers of neurodiverse children and youth.

These calls are a chance to connect with other parents and caregivers who “get it.” Each session includes a few guided conversation prompts to help get things started, but the heart of the call is simple, space to talk, listen, share experiences, and feel less alone.

There’s no pressure to prepare, no expectation to share more than you’re comfortable with, and no formal presentation. You’re welcome to come as you are — camera on or off, listening quietly or joining the conversation.

A member of our team will be present to support the technology and ensure the space runs smoothly, but the conversation itself belongs to you.

Whether you’re looking for connection, validation, shared strategies, or just a place to breathe with people who understand — these calls are here for you.
