Building Emotional Toolkits for Parents with Disabilities: A 3 Part Workshop Series 

Published: January 16, 2026

Being a parent is no easy task and parenting with a disability adds its own layers of complexity to the mix. Add to your emotional toolbox with this psychoeducational and interactive virtual workshop series facilitated by Family Services Toronto, Vibrant Community Healthcare and the Centre for Independent Living in Toronto’s Parenting with a Disability Network.  

Facilitators will lead a cross-disability group of parent participants through activities and discussions designed to build a deeper understanding of key emotions and their functions and to support building our toolkits for tuning in and responding to our emotions as parents.  

Spaces are limited so we ask that participants please commit to attending all three sessions. All participants will receive follow up resources to help build their toolkits. 

When: 

  • Wednesday February 4, 2026, 12pm-1:30pm  
  • Wednesday February 18, 2026, 12pm-1:30pm  
  • Wednesday March 4, 2026, 12pm-1:30pm 

Where: Over Zoom 

Please register on Zoom by January 27, 2026 at 5pm.

If you need support with filling out the registration form, please contact Robin Simmons by e-mail robin.simmons@cilt.ca or call 416-599-2458 ext. 293. 

Access: ASL-English interpretation will be provided if need is confirmed by January 27th.  Zoom auto-captions will be turned on. There will be a 5-10 minute break scheduled into each session depending on sessions. Handouts will be provided in accessible formats with text descriptions of any images. 

Please let us know about any access supports we can provide when you register.  

This program is for parents with disabilities in Ontario.
