Connect Program
Our Connect Program is a therapeutic, recreational program that provides rigorous intervention and support for children with serious mental health problems.
Who is eligible for this program?
To be eligible for our Connect Program, children must:
- be 7 to 12 years of age,
- be currently involved or be likely to become involved with Peel Children's Aid Society,
- be at risk of losing their place at home or in school,
- live in the Region of Peel, and
- have problems regulating their moods and emotions, or exhibit severely disruptive behaviour toward others.
What do we do?
Often, families are bereft of the proper coping and problem-solving abilities that are required to deal with multiple stressors. We provide an intense, educational program that helps families manage everyday conflicts.
- We help children develop appropriate social skills and give them oppurtunities to interact positively with their peers.
- We help children develop the inner resources they need to deal with their life at home, at school, and in the community.
- We provide the family with positive experiences, oppurtunities to develop their parenting skills, and treatment to help them keep their family together.
Our Connect Program involves three main activities: a parent and child group, individualized counselling, and an after-school program.
