OTTAWA, ON — The Humans for Peace Institution (HPI), in collaboration with the Nurest Treatment Centre (NTC), has announced a specialized seminar titled "Autism, Behavioral Disorders, and ADHD," scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026.

The event will be held at 11:00 AM at 200-14 Concourse Gate, Ottawa. Facilitated entirely in Arabic, the seminar aims to provide the local community with accessible, expert-led information on neurodevelopmental challenges. Admission to the event is free of charge.

Expert Guidance on Behavioral Health

The seminar will feature Abeer Lababneh, a certified behavioral specialist, as the keynote speaker. Her presentation will focus on the complexities of autism, behavioral disorders, and ADHD, offering insights into effective support strategies for families and caregivers.

A Partnership for Community Support

This event marks a significant collaboration between the Humans for Peace Institution and the Nurest Treatment Centre. The partnership leverages NTC’s expertise in providing full educational and psychological support for children.

This initiative is part of HPI's broader mission to assist vulnerable youth, including:

• Children diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, and PTSD.

• Refugees and children facing complex social behavioral challenges.

• Participants in the "Free to Play" project, which encourages outdoor exploration and social connection for children with diverse needs.

By hosting this seminar, both organizations reaffirm their commitment to fostering inclusive environments where every child has the psychological and educational tools necessary to thrive. Members of the community interested in learning more about behavioral health and supporting children with neurodivergent needs are encouraged to attend.
