Are you a parent or caregiver feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure? You’re not alone.
When you’re parenting or caring for a child with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges, or other complex needs, it can add another layer of emotional complexity. OCO welcomes the George Hull Centre for a supportive webinar on managing caregiver anxiety and reminding you that there is ‘no shame in your game’ as a parent or caregiver.
In this session, you’ll learn:
• How anxiety and trauma can impact caregiving, especially within racialized families and communities
• Real caregiver stories that may reflect your own challenges and offer new ways to copy and connect
• Practical tools and strategies to feel more empowered in your role and amplify the work that you’re doing
