Caring for a child with disability, delay or autism is a meaningful and demanding role—and taking steps toward returning to work can feel both empowering and challenging.

Join this MyTime peer group to explore what returning to work could look like for you. We’ll explore flexible roles, the value of volunteering, and practical ways to overcome barriers.

Connect with others who understand, get inspired, and start thinking about your next steps with confidence. There’s no pressure only real conversation and opportunities to ask questions and share experiences.

Who is this event for?

MyTime is for parents and caregivers raising a child with disability, developmental delay or autism.

During a MyTime session, there is a guided discussion and a space to connect with other families. These discussions offer an opportunity for parents and caregivers to share and learn from each other.
