Vicky Caruana, Maryann Cabral, Amanda Cappon & Deanna Cooper
Starfish Parent Support Program & Durham College

In this event, we'll have a conversation with the researchers and community members behind the Raising Resilient Families research project that developed supports for and with parents with cognitive challenges. Presenters will shed light on systemic factors that impact societal views of parenting capacity and family resilience, then share the co-production practices used in this project to develop innovations and practical strategies. Through this presentation, participants will have a chance to learn about co-production practices within this research that lead to evidence-informed approaches to support parents with cognitive challenges, including practical tools for fostering resilience and reducing stigma.
