We look forward to welcoming parents and caregivers of autistic children and youth to the Autism Caregivers Collective starting this friday.

The facilitators, Lindsay Crickmay (MSW, RSW) and Grace Ohrling (MSW Intern) recognize that caregivers of autistic children and youth can feel misunderstood, alone, and isolated on your parenting journey. It can feel overwhelming knowing that society has a narrow idea of what success looks like and it can be hard to help your child thrive in a world not designed for them.

Caregivers of ALL children with Autism are welcome- no matter how high or low their support needs are, to attend as many sessions as you would like with afternoon and evening sessions being held on the first Friday of each month. There is no pressure to commit to a series of sessions. We created this space for you, to celebrate wins, losses, share resources and stories, have some laughs, and build a community together.

πŸ“… Starting this Friday, FEB 6th: choose afternoon 12:30pm-2:30pm or evening 7:00pm-9:00pm
February 6, March 6, April 10, and May 1, 2026
πŸ“ In person at Bloom Kitchener (Belmont Village)
βœ‰οΈ $50 per session. Reimbursable through insurance for social work or OAP funding.

We're huge book fans at Bloom πŸ“š our collection of children's books and parenting books is always getting bigger. Therapists use books in sessions to provide children with relatable characters and situations. Books provide a safe, externalized, and indirect way for kids to explore their challenges. By providing a relatable story, therapist use books to help children process their challenges, develop motivation and optimism to work towards their goals, and increase their confidence to do so.
Share with us some of your favourites so we can check them out!!

Let's talk about room wrecking in therapy... this is not willful misbehaviour, it's actually a form of communication. Room wrecking looks like damaging toys, throwing items, overturning furniture, or pulling everything off of shelves.

When calm, we normalize their feelings without promoting the behaviour. When calm, we name the emotions and triggers. When calm, we make a plan together for what they can do next time, knowing we will hear them. We identify triggers for early interventions before total escalation.

Pt 3 of our Sandtray week! These are a few of many reflective, non-leading questions a therapist will ask clients in sandtray therapy.

12/04/2025

Is your child made up of so many amazing, colourful, parts? Like a little human sensory bin full of colour, contrast, and depth? Are they needing a creative space to explore these parts of themselves and their identity? Look no further, Expression Lab is here starting January 14th! If your child is neurodivergent, shy, anxious, or artsy, (ages 9–12) come experiment with self-expression, build social skills, and connect with others through art, music and drama.
🧑 A safe, fun space to experiment and be yourself.
