CTN is now offering daytime and evening sessions for the ENVISAGE-Families Program.

“Since ENVISAGE, we have just been having more fun, doing things that make her happy and enjoying all the little and big moments.” ~ Parent Participant 

With the first session of the ENVISAGE-Families Program well underway, the Child and Family Wellness Program is partnering again with CanChild to provide another opportunity for parents and caregivers to participate in this unique learning opportunity. Knowing that raising children can also be busy, we are now also offering both daytime and evening sessions of ENVISAGE-Families, so you can participate at a time that best fits your schedule.

ENVISAGE-Families is a free, five-week online program designed for families of kids with disabilities and/or developmental needs aged zero to six. The program has been shown to empower parents and caregivers, while enhancing their confidence and well-being.

Some of the topics ENVISAGE-Families will cover include:

• Early child and family development
• Aligning your parenting with your values
• Building communication in your family network

This is a unique opportunity to gain skills for your journey, while helping CanChild continue their important research.

• Be a parent or caregiver of a child (between the ages of zero to six) with disabilities and/or developmental needs.
