Enhancing and Empowering: Conversations for Positive Change
We started daily “by the community—for the community” webinars in English and Spanish in 2020 as a response to the entropy and social isolation of the pandemic. Now, our webinar series Enhancing and Empowering: Conversations for Positive Change fosters conversation, connection, and community. Currently, webinar presenters are providing free content to the Be Strong Families community both live and on demand. The presenters are also providing deeper-dive fee-based workshops on the same topics.
Upcoming Webinar
In This Together: Honest Conversations About Parenting Children with Different Abilities
Wednesday, March 24, 2026 | 12 PM CST
Hosted by Cindy Weber, Michele Tyler, Joanie Kovacs, and Lori Sanchez
Parenting a child with special needs brings unique joys, challenges, and questions that don’t always get talked about openly. In This Together is a supportive, honest conversation designed to create space for real experiences — the highs, the hard days, and everything in between. Join our Training Partners from SPAN as we have the conversation that so many parents need to have on this journey that's better together.
This webinar invites parents, caregivers, and professionals to explore the emotional, practical, and relational aspects of special needs parenting while centering connection, resilience, and shared learning. Participants will reflect on advocacy, self-care, navigating systems, and building supportive networks that help families thrive.
Whether you are a parent walking this journey or a professional seeking to better support families, this session offers encouragement, practical insights, and a reminder that no one has to navigate this path alone.
