The Play to Heal Program is a play-based program designed to support children’s social and emotional development. The goal is to support children in identifying emotions, communicating how they feel, and learn to regulate their emotions and behaviour. This is a personalized program, offering 1-1 support to children and families. This program is offered for children 2- 16 years old.

 

The objectives of the Play to Heal Program are:

 

• to help children understand the loss or change they are experiencing and how to journey through the grief process (death, divorce, new baby, move to a new home/school)

• to help children develop skills for emotional recognition, emotional expression and coping strategies for managing difficult life transitions/events 

• to help children develop strategies for self-regulation in order to change difficult behaviours such as tantrums, aggression, and defiance

• to help children to develop coping strategies when a child or family member is diagnosed with a terminal illness 

 

Sessions are offered face-to-face in Studio, or virtually

New clients must begin with a 1-hour Family Consult to review the challenges and goals for the family and to develop a timeline for Play to Heal sessions
