On November 6th, 2025 at 7pm EST, we’re Talking About Children’s Mental Health. When your child or youth with a disability experiences mental health challenges, it can add another layer of complexity for your family, and knowing how to help them can be difficult.
Join us for an open conversation about the intersection of disability and mental health that can break through the stigma, making it easier for you and your family to seek help when it’s needed.
Our expert panelists connected to Children’s Mental Health Ontario, will offer practical strategies, resources, and insights to help you get the conversation started and navigate these challenges with confidence.
