For the past two years, NBACL has worked with families from across the province to develop a comprehensive resource for families who require information and strategies to ensure their child has the best opportunity to live a good life. We are excited to finally share with you Taking The Journey: An Information and Advocacy Guide for Families Raising a Child with a Disability - over 200 pages of information on subjects that reach across the lifespan, from Early Learning and Child Care to Will and Estate Planning. Taking the Journey was developed by families, for families, in order to share information on service systems, how they work and how you can help them be more effective in helping your child have the best chances at success.
This workshop is for parents and caregivers raising a child with a disability. Workshop agenda will include:
Taking the Journey: Exploration and Overview of the Guide
Chapter 2: Being an Effective Advocate for Your Child
Chapter 11: Encouraging Healthy and Safe Relationships
Chapter 14: Decision Making and Your Child
Parents will also get a chance to share, connect, and laugh with other parents in similar situations.
