Kids in Control is an 8-week program with once a week, 1.5-hour sessions. The Teens in Control workshop is a 2-day, 2-hour workshop held over a 1-week period. We have new programs offered each month, and our intake is ongoing. Our online groups have been a great success with small group sizes. Before each group, we mail emotion regulation tool kits and craft supplies to each child to use in the program and keep afterwards.
Referrals to our programs can come from parents, school personnel, doctors, community agencies, social workers, counsellors, family caregivers and other clinicians; youth ages 14+ can self-refer. Once a referral is made, our intake coordinator will contact the family to ensure the program is a good fit for their child. We ask that if you are not the legal guardian that you have a conversation with the legal guardian prior to making the referral. Our team will ensure that all consents are in place prior to starting services. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask, my contact information is listed below.
