Project summary:
Children with brain-based developmental disabilities often face emotional and behavioural difficulties. These challenges can negatively impact their quality of life and the quality of life of their families. Our Strongest Families(TM) project explores whether emotional and behavioural regulation can be improved in children with neurodisabilities through parenting programs that include education, telephone support, parent-to-parent connections, and resource information. The ConneKT funds will be used to produce an op-ed with the intent of raising awareness of the challenges faced by many children who have the dual diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disabilities and mental health concerns. The team will also produce two short videos describing the Strongest Families Neurodevelopmental program and study to help inform the public about the work that is being done by the research team.
CONGRATULATIONS!
