Groups

This support group for children ages 7-12 provides a warm and therapeutic environment for children to socialize and learn therapeutic skills while playing Roblox with peers. Lead by a therapist, the guided play will include opportunities to problem solve, navigate difficulties, work with others, make decisions, learn about yourself, and more! This weekly course is a great chance for children who struggle with anxiety, have experienced trauma, who are neurodivergent, or who otherwise could use a friendly and supportive environment as a regular check-in!

Children have unique struggles - they may experience anxiety or depression, they may be neurodivergent or have experienced trauma, and need unique support - and as parents, we go through those struggles with our children! Sometimes, without intending to, especially if we're a parent to a child or teen with anxiety, BPD, or ADHD, we may touch a trigger we had no idea was there, and find situations quickly boiling into places we never intended at home. This group gives caregivers a space to meet alongside their peers and a professional to discuss their challenges, receive support and group therapy, learn therapeutic and parenting strategies, and problem solve. Implementing this group may help avoid placement breakdowns in foster agencies by giving caregivers a safe space to deal with issues and mend bridges and miscommunications before they boil over. Foster parents and independent foster agencies can contact their CAS agency/direct worker to enquire about reimbursement of services and coverage for therapeutic services for children, youth, and caregivers.

This therapy group takes place on the last Friday of the month at 5 pm (EST). Each session can be registered for independently and involves 3-4 creative therapy prompts selected to stimulate contemplation and reflection, discover yourself authentic self on a deeper level, and improve your well-being. You will be encouraged to engage with art (sketching, coloring, painting, etc.), sculpting, writing (poetry, inner child work, reflection), music, and more. See the listing at the top of the page to book your spot in this month's art therapy workshop!

This group gives foster and adoption children and youth a space to meet for 1.5-2 hours with similar aged peers who are also in the foster/adoption care system under the guidance of a psychotherapist. They will have the opportunity to: Work through their feelings about the changes that have occurred to their family since foster care, however feels most comfortable for them (speech, creative writing and journalling, art, music, poetry), explore their identity and interests in a positive, nurturing space, develop a kinder pattern of self-talk and a more compassionate inner monologue, learn interpersonal skills and practice social skills, process difficult feelings, behaviours, and trauma events using art and play, learn about how their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours are interconnected, and build coping strategies and self-soothing techniques.
