When the concern is emotional or social
Use psychotherapy services for intrapersonal skills like confidence and regulation, and interpersonal skills like communication and friendship.
School-focusedWhen learning, focus, or achievement is the concern
Use educational services for tutoring, educational counselling, executive functioning coaching, assessments, and educator workshops.
Family-focusedWhen the whole system needs support
Use family system supports for the Parent Online Course, family counselling, perinatal counselling, medicine consultation, and support around home routines.
