Join 2022 Training Innovation Fund awardees Rosslynn Zulla (University of Calgary) and Andrea MacLeod (University of Alberta) on January 20 from 2 p.m.-3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m.-1 p.m. MT for an interactive webinar on building meaningful research partnerships with immigrant and refugee families who have neurodivergent children, as well as with the organizations that support them. 

This CHILD-BRIGHT event aims to provide practical tools and key information to researchers hoping to forge relationships with these communities, whose members often face multiple barriers preventing their participation in research projects. Rosslyn and Andrea will discuss case studies and present a guide specially developed to support researchers wishing to improve the health and well-being of immigrant and refugee families with neurodivergent children. They will also outline key processes to help researchers align with the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, as well as examples of meaningful research processes and products.
