Since 2021, Jillie has been helping kids feel safe and supported at Crossroads. She’s trained to assist with self-soothing, emotional regulation, and social skills, all while offering a friendly face (and the occasional lick). 🐶

العودة إلى المدرسة
العودة إلى المدرسة يمكن أن تجلب مزيجًا من الحماس، وأصدقاء جدد، ومعلمين جدد، وفرص جديدة بالإضافة إلى لحظات من التوتر أو القلق للأطفال. كلاهما طبيعي تمامًا!
يمكن أن تكون التحولات صعبة، ولكن مع الدعم المناسب، يمكن للأطفال بناء المرونة والثقة للعام المقبل. لا يتعين على الآباء ومقدمي الرعاية التنقل في هذا الأمر بمفردهم؛ فريقنا هنا ليسير بجانبكم.

Heading back to school can bring a mix of excitement, new friends, new teachers, and new opportunities as well as moments of stress or worry for kids. Both are completely normal!
Our staff have put together helpful advice to support children (and parents!) through this transition.

You’re smiling on the outside, but still struggling on the inside. It’s okay to not be okay. And it’s okay to talk to someone about it.

💜 You don’t have to wait and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Connect with a registered therapist today free of charge.

Back-to-school season can sneak up fast but that doesn’t mean it has to be chaotic. 📚

This week, try easing into your routine slowly:
– Make your lunch
– Organize your things
– Set your alarm a little earlier
– Do one thing that helps future-you

A little structure now = less stress later. And if the pressure’s already building, is here for you.

💬 Chat with a therapist for free at onestoptalk.ca or call 1-855-416-8255.
