Financial Empowerment Series – Foundations & Income Support

Navigating disability income support in Ontario can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be.

In this session of our Financial Empowerment Series: Foundations & Income Support, we break down the essentials of ODSP, CPP Disability, and practical budgeting strategies to help you build financial confidence after a spinal cord injury.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Your rights and available financial supports in Ontario
  • ODSP basics: eligibility, application process, what’s covered, and tips to maximize support
  • CPP Disability benefits: who qualifies, how to apply, and how it works with ODSP
  • Budgeting for real-life expenses like medical needs, accessibility, and transportation
  • How to advocate for yourself and access the support you deserve

Whether you’re newly navigating income supports or looking to better understand your options, this session offers clear, practical guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
