This is so helpful for all parents/caregivers of youth! Please help spread the word

Happening tomorrow!

Big emotions don’t come with instructions — for youth or for parents/caregivers.

If you’ve ever found yourself unsure what to say or do in those moments, this upcoming session at Foundry offers a chance to explore that together.

Advanced Caregiving (EFFT) focuses on understanding how youth experience emotions and how caregivers can respond in ways that support, not escalate.

Wednesday, April 29 | 5:00–6:30 pm | Foundry Cariboo Chilcotin
Led by Nick Astle, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC).

You don’t need to have attended any previous sessions — each one stands on its own.

We hope you join us!

Mealtimes with little ones can be messy, emotional, unpredictable — and that is so normal.

Join Shannon and Sarah for a fun, relaxed Feeding Our Littles session at the CDC. If you are caring for a child ages 1–5 and want mealtimes to feel a little less stressful and a little more connected, this session is for you.

They’ll share practical, supportive strategies to help make meals more enjoyable, encourage food exploration without pressure, and build confidence and independence at the table.
