This Pink Shirt Day, Bloom: Child & Family Therapy stands alongside families across Canada in choosing kindness, courage, and safety. πŸ’—

Parents play a powerful role in shaping how their children see themselves and others. Today is a reminder that small conversations at home about empathy, respect, making helpful choices, and standing up for what’s right can make a lasting difference. Together, we can help the children in our community feel safe, valued, and confident to be themselves authentically and unapologetically.

At Bloom, we are committed to supporting children and families in building resilience, fostering emotional awareness, and creating communities where every child belongs.

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

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!!
