Algonquin Heights

We have been working very closely with Algonquin Heights this summer, helping them to build up their protective factors. We have had natural led conversations regarding emotions and bullying.

Youth were able to talk about coping skills when handling their emotions as well as create emotional support ducks.

Parents and caregivers also joined our most recent session where we wrote positive uplifting messages on a mural that will be hung in the development!
