Siblings often have to spend a lot of time together in the summer. Sometimes you can feel more like a referee than a parent. Love this long-game perspective from The Occuplaytional Therapist!

🌟 Tween girls need more than just advice—they need space to grow, connect, and feel seen. 💛

Research shows that around ages 9–13, girls often experience a drop in self-esteem and confidence. The good news? There are powerful, evidence-based ways to help them thrive:

✨ Feeling heard and having a voice
🤝 Building positive friendships
💬 Learning emotional regulation & assertiveness
🪞 Developing body confidence & media smarts
🌈 Exploring identity through a strengths-based lens

That’s what our summer GirlzOwn empowerment & personal development group is all about—a safe, fun, and supportive space for girls to build self-confidence, healthy friendships, and personal tools that last a lifetime.

👨🏽‍🏫 CALLING ALL TEACHERS! Summer is coming ... did you know NowWhat in Ancaster offers summer camps and programs for kids and teens that are covered by your benefits? If you've got benefits to use up before they roll over in September, we've got you covered!

We know that teachers deeply understand the value of building the foundational social and emotional skills that make structured learning possible in the classroom.

Our programs are all designed around a joyful, normative approach to building skills around 5 key elements:

1. Harnessing focus and attention
2. Tolerating the necessary hard stuff of life
3. Building social fluency to support positive relationships
4. Noticing, naming, normalizing, and regulating big emotions
5. Sharpening executive function skills (planning, organizing & executing tasks)

Yeah, you heard right ... NowWTF? is a safe and supportive space for young adults to explore the wild world of relationships of all kinds - romantic, platonic, parental, employee-employer, authority figures, and more. We ask questions like:

❓What do healthy, affirming relationships look, sound, and feel like?
❓What are my 'Hard No's' and my 'Yes Please's' in a partner/friend?
❓How do I become the kind of partner/friend I want to be?
❓What's a legit red flag vs a normal, expected part of being in a relationship?
❓How do you make a solid repair when you hurt someone, or are hurt by them?
❓How can you manage conflict without damaging the relationship?
❓What can you do if you're stuck in a draining, difficult or unsafe relationship?
❓How does your relationship with your parents and family change as you become an adult yourself?
❓How do you navigate your workplace relationships with other staff members and bosses?
❓How does your/other people's neurodivergence show up in relationships?
❓How do I want my online presence to show up in the world of relationships?
❓What's expected of me during a 'date' and how do I know if someone is also into me?

Covered by OAP funding and most benefit plans under social work, NowWTF? is run by therapeutic professionals in their 20s & 30s who are closely connected to the world older teens and young adults are operating in and offer neutral, non-judgmental, and affirming space for open discussion and exploration.

DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) is a set of simple, practical social-emotional skills and strategies, tailored to each age and stage, wrapped up in a playful and engaging curriculum.

DBT gives your family new ways to think and talk about how to:

*Harness your focus to pay attention on purpose
*Work through the distress of non-preferred tasks and events
*Cope with big feelings without creating new problems
*Act effectively in a situation, even if it's not our first choice
*Take another perspective and find a middle path
*Prioritize protecting important relationships over being 'right'
*Genuinely validate other people's experiences and perspectives

If your family could use help shaking things up to reset difficult dynamics, DBT could be for you! NowDBT is super ADHD-friendly and accessible for neurodivergent 'minds of all kinds'. DBT happens in small groups, in our active Sports-Based DBT program that mixes sports drills with DBT skills (perfect for bodies that need to move to learn!), or in private family groupings.
