Focused on children & family with Children's Therapeutic Services & Support.

Our Children’s Therapeutic Services are based on the unique and changing needs of children and are designed to improve any child’s functioning within a family and community of support.

Individual, group and family skills training assist to address emotional regulation, behavioral concerns and social functioning. Parent and caregiver coaching also assist to reinforce skill-building outside of our services. Children’s Therapeutic Services activities take place at home and within the local community.

Pause.
Take a deep breath.
In.
Out.

The power of a deep breath - deep breathing activates the nervous system, providing immediate benefits like reducing stress, anxiety, improving focus, increasing energy, lowering cortisol levels, and improving sleep quality by fostering a state of calm and enhancing oxygen flow.

Common technique:
Box Breathing - Inhale for four seconds, hold for four seconds, exhale for four seconds, and hold again for four seconds.
