Children & Youth with Diverse Needs
Respite Program
The Respite Program provides a break for families who are caring for children and youth with diverse needs. Our centre uses a respite homes so children will enjoy a home-like setting, whether they’re from in-town or out-of-town. At times, other children may also be on-site.
Life Skills Program
The Life Skills Program provides programming for children and youth with diverse needs. The goals is to strengthen daily living skills and introduce new skills. The program operates in a group setting and the children and youth take part in a variety of activities to strength peer connection, engage in our community, learn key skills such as cooking, personal care, understanding public transit, retail store purchasing, successfully visiting our library and public parks. The program is held off-site and most of the activities are afternoons, early evening and weekends.
