Check out this great local initiative.
Most of these books can be spotted on our shelves!

For the month of May, we are offering 20% off these books to those wishing to donate them to The Valeria Fund's comfort kits. The Valeria Fund was founded in memory of Araminta Valeria Chan, who was born on April 16, 2023. After an hour with her family she passed away due to a pre-existing genetic condition. The Valeria Fund aims to unite a community of support through advocacy for individuals and families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss. Outside from raising funds for the Maternal Infant Care Unit at Bluewater Health to provide comfort kits to grieving families, they strive to raise awareness for the ever-present need for physical and mental health supports in Lambton County following pregnancy and infant loss. You can order and donate the books by giving us a call at 519-337-3171, coming into the store or online at https://sarniabookkeeper.com/?q=h.tviewer&e_def_id=1aa-cwUN9Gk
We will collect the books here at the store for Lo-Anne and Family to take to the Maternal Infant Care Unit at Bluewater Health.

Did you know? Bridgeview Psychotherapy offers virtual sessions for adults throughout Ontario.

Do you need support, but can’t make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent, and don’t have the time to drive across town for an appointment?

Do you live in a more rural area, or maybe you prefer to just do things virtually?

If so, Bridgeview Psychotherapy can support you through virtual therapy, or telehealth.

Telehealth allows counselling and therapy to be provided to clients via live video conferencing. This can be done anywhere you have a computer or smartphone and internet access.

Bridgeview Psychotherapy's telehealth solution allows you to schedule an appointment directly online and have the entire therapy session take place digitally.

Congratulations to our clinician Shannon for being the first trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist in Sarnia! Today there are 125 trained IFS therapists in all of Ontario; 52 of which are currently accepting new clients.

IFS® is frequently used as a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS® creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.

Shannon uses traditional IFS therapy with adults and play-based IFS with kids and teens. Shannon is currently accepting adult clients both in-person in Sarnia and online throughout Ontario, as well as child and teen clients in-person in Sarnia.

Check out this cool local program for kids and teens!

“Being playful and silly is a great gateway to introducing yoga to kids. Not only will kids have space for self-expression in this series, they will also strengthen and explore their bodies, as well as their connection to mindfulness and breathing techniques. Through yoga poses, games, music and more, this structured series allows kids to release energy and learn how to self regulate.”

Sarnia - I spy with my little eye, an emotion octoplushie! Can you spot it?

Play therapy gives children a medium to convey emotions, thoughts, and experiences that they might not have the vocabulary to express verbally. Different types of toys cater to various therapeutic goals.

If you are seeking support with social, emotional, or behavioral concerns for yourself or your child, check out the Bridgeview Psychotherapy website at www.bridgeviewpsychotherapy.com to learn more and book online.

Books can be a useful part of play therapy! Reading together is a great way to start a conversation on a difficult topic. Hearing about a character in a similar situation can help to normalize the child’s experience and to help them feel less alone. And of course, learning about how the character navigates the situation can help the child to build on their own toolbox! Check out the book corner in one of the youth therapy rooms at Bridgeview Psychotherapy in Sarnia.

Looking for support for yourself or your child? There are currently afternoon and evening session times available for ages four and up. Check out the online booking to schedule a free fifteen minute consult call. www.bridgeviewpsychotherapy.com
