🌍✨ Happy World Autism Awareness Day! 💙 Today, let's celebrate the uniqueness of every individual, as we mark this year's theme: Humanity & Autism: Every Life Has Value.

Let's take that to heart 🥰 as we embrace differences + foster inclusion. Awareness is knowing autism exists. Acceptance is taking action, by challenging stereotypes, removing barriers + building spaces where everyone can participate and belong -- at school, work and in our communities! 🌈

Starting April 14th 💜 Our Children’s Group (ages 5–8) offers a fun, supportive, and safe space for children who have been impacted by abuse.

Through connection and guided activities, children can build emotional regulation skills, strengthen their self-esteem, and learn about healthy relationships and online safety, all in an environment where they feel heard, valued, and supported.

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow with confidence and feel safe being themselves.

For more information or to register, please call 705-878-4285 ext. 230.

Imagine you are Elsa and you have icy, magical snow breath.

Breathe in slowly through your nose like you are filling up with cold, sparkly air…
Smell the snowy air… ❄️

Hold it for a second like you’re gathering your ice magic.

Blow out slowly through your mouth like Elsa is making a gentle snowstorm…

Try to blow out long and slow, like you’re freezing the air in front of you. ☃️❄️🥶🧊
