ENVISAGE is a free peer support program specifically designed for parents and caregivers of children aged 0-8 years with disabilities or developmental concerns.
ENVISAGE provides caregivers with early exposure to current thinking and best practices around childhood disability and encourages information-sharing and connections among families and service providers. Co-created by Australian and Canadian researchers, clinicians, and most importantly parents, Envisage’s mission is to empower caregivers to feel confident and competent to navigate the experience of parenting a child with developmental concerns by embracing contemporary strengths-based ideas about health, wellbeing, and development.
