This is an 18-hour program that is completed over 6 sessions and focuses on a new way of supporting children with challenging behaviour. It incorporates a strength-based, child and family centred approach to preventing challenging behaviour from occurring and promoting social and emotional development.
Make and Take workshops are an opportunity to create a circle time activity, network and share experiences with your peers while learning tips for a successful circle.
BeCool is a workshop for children developed to support the development of impulse control, empathy and self-awareness by teaching children how to be assertive (cool) rather than aggressive or passive when challenged by a difficult person (someone who is attempting to intimidate or manipulate them) or a challenging situation.
R.E.S.T. Workshop
We received physiotherapy for our daughter who was being considered for a helmet for plagiocephaly. From our first appointment to our last, we received wonderful care. The staff at CTFRC were always very friendly, welcoming, and had a great spirit. The Physiotherapist was very kind, gentle and provided us with so much knowledge!
The outlet to have a professional available for help and advice and direction was key in our success, along with the tips, tools and education I received. They are so great at checking in and making sure I know there are supports, if necessary.
Having someone to talk me through the stages and calm my nerves about [my child's] development is what helped me the most. the sessions were always super informative and gave great advice on what to work on with [my child]. Just having the peace of mind that we were on the right track. I appreciate the service so much and I would recommend to any concerned parent!
