On November 6th at 7 pm EST, we will be joining P4P Planning Network for the “Talking About Children’s Mental Health” webcast. We understand that when your child or youth with a disability experiences mental health challenges, it can add another layer of complexity for your family, making it difficult to know how to help.

Join us as we explore the intersection of disability and mental health, and aim to break through stigma, making it easier for your family to seek help when needed. We'll provide practical strategies, resources, and insights to empower you to start these conversations and navigate challenges with confidence.

A live Q&A will follow the webcast - you don’t want to miss it!

Aggression at home can be overwhelming.

This webinar explores a serious issue—Aggression toward Family or Caregivers in Childhood and Adolescence (AFCCA), a pattern of behaviour where a child or youth directs aggressive acts toward family members or caregivers.

Join clinicians from Interwoven Connections as they unpack what AFCCA is, why it happens, and how it affects everyone involved. You'll gain practical strategies for managing these behaviours at home and learn where to find support.

Every journey carries invisible weight, especially for families rebuilding their lives after a crisis. 💚

This year’s World Mental Health Day campaign emphasizes the importance of supporting individuals affected by humanitarian emergencies. Conflicts, disasters, and health emergencies take a heavy toll on mental health, and many young people carry this trauma in places where mental health care is often out of reach.

CMHO continues to advocate for systems that protect not just safety but also healing. Share this to remind others that the well-being of every infant, child, youth, and family matters.
