Voices in Partnership

Join us for a meaningful opportunity for service providers to listen to and learn from the lived experiences of newcomer families raising children with disabilities as they navigate pediatric healthcare and disability services. By centering family voices through a structured panel discussion, the event aims to deepen understanding of the challenges, barriers, and opportunities within the healthcare system from the perspective of those directly affected.

Through dialogue between families and service providers, the event seeks to encourage reflection on current practices, highlight the importance of culturally responsive and family-centered care, and explore practical ways to improve communication, access, and coordination of services. Ultimately, this conversation aims to strengthen the capacity of healthcare providers and organizations to deliver more equitable, culturally safe, and responsive care for newcomer and refugee families.
