We want to hear from you as we improve family justice services for all Albertans.

By completing our online survey, you’ll be helping us create a more streamlined, accessible process for families dealing with issues like divorce, spousal support, parenting and more.

If you have personally used family justice services, are close to someone who has or have a vested interest, your perspective is valuable in shaping a system that better supports families in need.

EXCITING NEWS! The TRAILS Course is now LIVE on Saffron's website!

To accompany the launch of our TRAILS counselling program for children displaying problematic or harmful sexual behaviour, we have built a comprehensive online course for adults on the same topic.

Learn about children's sexual behaviour and development, the difference between developmentally normative, problematic, and harmful sexual behaviours in children, and how to respond to these behaviours if they arise.

Register today for FREE to take the course at your own pace: https://www.saffroncentre.com/trails-course/

7. Still little but so grown up. Around 7 is when their brains develop an understanding of the really scary things that happen in the world. Monsters shift from scary under the bed creatures to bad guys and kidnappers. Their worlds move from small to big. Going into this time I have learned to brace myself for extra snuggles, longer bedtime routines and lots of big feelings. We will make it. Most importantly our kids will know that the next scary obstacle is not something they have to face alone.

One of the most meaningful things I have learned in working with kids is to learn how to apologize. We won't get it right 100% of the time, and when we apologize we teach them how to do it too.

Has your child ever looked up at you while doing something great? Like scoring goal, or landing a cartwheel, or pointing their tippy toes? These interactions with your kids demonstrate that you're there, fully present, and showing up just for them. We would love to hear some great moments your kids noticed you were watching. Keep showing up ❤️

This is a great demonstration of active coping skills and tapping. Please share with kids in your life who might need a little extra self love as well as coping strategies. 💚

Parallel activity can be so helpful in giving space for kids to share. Some of my most meaningful work as a therapist and a mom come from the moments where I am just being present.

Simple things like feeding the pets, putting toys away, or tidying shoes can help build some capacity for contribution among other positive qualities in children.

I am beyond grateful to be able to share this space with you all. (Sometimes my little ones get to play here too) ❤️
