Feeling this hard this week.

Compliance is not the goal.

Little neurodivergent flowers don't need compliance training, they need to feel valued in their environments.

The kids are (still) not alright.

How long will we read the same findings before we see progress? How many reports are needed?

The government has known for decades (yes...decades!) that children and youth need more than what's available - and that when they don't get it, they end up needing more services from other parts of the provincially funded system, including child protection, youth justice and adult mental health services - all of which are considerably more expensive. Investments in prevention and early intervention could mean less provincial funding supporting those same individuals down the line.

We are grateful to Global News for the opportunity to talk about the Auditor General's report on the inadequacy of Ontario's youth mental health supports - but we'd rather be out of a job.

Need help selling an Executive Function group to your middle schooler? Next time they complain about school, try:

"I feel you. Sometimes my brain's a total dumpster fire, too. 🔥 I heard about this group that helps you actually get stuff DONE. Like, learn to focus, ditch the distractions, and maybe even become a productivity warrior? 🥷 It's obvi not gonna be totally lit, but they have snacks. Could be worth checking out?" *

We like keeping it real over here. They'll laugh at you, but that's half the fun?

Starts soon, only 4 spots left! Register now at: https://bit.ly/3DNmhgX

* This statement was vetted by a real live teen for language accuracy. We are told it's sick, no cap.
