Now more than ever we need connection and bonding, especially with our children.

Try using MATS to create a bonding moment. In times of sadness, worry or distress.

MENTION: what emotion you see.
ASK: more about how they feel and validate it.
TOUCH: offer your lap, share a hug, cover a hand.
STAY: until the emotional need changes or is filled.

Everything we do at Alternatives is always guided by our vision.  

It is that we believe all people are the SAME : we are all trying to make happier, more satisfying lives for ourselves and our families.  

And, we are all DIFFERENT in the skills, knowledge and other resources we have to make that happen.  

At Alternatives we provide support, information and training to help every person we see get those skills, or that knowledge, or that new perspective to make their lives happier, the lives of their families happier, and improve our community.
