As we observe Black History Month this February, Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) honours the legacy, contributions, and excellence of Black people in Canada and worldwide. We acknowledge the significant role that Black Canadians and their communities have played in shaping the nation’s cultural diversity, compassion, and prosperity.

We cover the Disability Policy in Canada Report, explore how technology is helping kids with disabilities move more, and announce new board members. We’re also celebrating our KBHN Access Awardees 2024 and sharing our role in the Honouring the Caregiver project.

Includes a year-end message from CEO Geoff Pradella, the KBHN Outstanding Awards, and our involvement in the launch of the National Caregiving Caucus and the Honouring the Caregiver event. We also celebrated our funded projects for International Day of Persons with Disabilities and introduced new travel aid for families with disabilities.

AI in mental health: empowering autistic youth with decreased sound tolerance, a highlight on Indigenous Disability Awareness Month (IDAM), Application templates for the Innovation and Implementation Programs, Call for nominations for the 2024-2025 KBHN Outstanding Awards, and more.

Includes a new video about KBHN and a feature on the ACT Program for Black communities.

Plus, reasons why eligibility for disability supports should expand, voices from our community and more.

This spring brings with it a flurry of activity, from fresh investments to staff transitions, along with invaluable learning opportunities for our community.
