We are offering our new outpatient families a free information session so that you can learn about helpful resources and be prepared for your first appointment. At this information session, we will answer some frequently asked questions (FAQs), including:

  • What can I do while my child is on the waitlist?
  • What other services in the community can I access?
  • What other services at Holland Bloorview can I access?
  • How can I get ready for our first appointment at Holland Bloorview?
  • How can I meet other parents or family members who might be in the same position as me?
  • What are some tips from other parents or families who have been to appointments at Holland Bloorview?
  • What are some tips from clinicians?
  • What tools are available to help organize all of my child’s information?

This information session will feature an optional tour of Holland Bloorview at the end. Attendees will receive a resource booklet with the answers to the questions above. Please note that this information session is for parents and caregivers.
