We had a fantastic time this week during our holiday-themed week! Each day, we celebrated by showing off our Santa hats and Christmas socks, our ugly sweaters, and our favorite day, Holiday PJ Day! Our clients even joined in the fun if they were able.

We are grateful to the management team, who allowed us to deviate from the "regular" workday to create a festive atmosphere. The holiday spirit was definitely in full gear!

How did you celebrate this week?

Big smiles, lots of laughter, and a whole lot of silly string!

In our ALPHA (school-aged partial hospitalization) program, kids earn tickets by making positive choices—returning forms sent home to parents, supporting peers, following staff expectations, and getting “caught” doing good things. Recently, one child saved up their tickets for a very special reward: covering our ALPHA therapist in silly string—Nickelodeon-style!

While it may look like pure fun, moments like this support our Sanctuary commitment to safety, connection, and emotional growth. These shared experiences build trust, strengthen relationships, and show kids that positive behavior is noticed, celebrated, and meaningful.

Sometimes healing looks serious. Sometimes it looks like laughter, joy, and a therapist willing to get "slimed." 💚

Routines matter — especially during the holidays!

With all the excitement, travel, and schedule changes, young children can feel overwhelmed. Keeping familiar routines (meals, naps, bedtime, and daily rituals) gives them a sense of safety and predictability.

A steady routine helps kids stay calm, sleep better, and handle all the holiday fun without getting overloaded. Even small anchors — a bedtime story, a regular snack time, or a quiet moment together — make a big difference.

Here’s to joyful celebrations and happy, regulated little ones!

We are sharing for our friends at Access Integris .
