After School Therapy Group (Grades 1-3)
The After School Group is a structured, in-person group therapy program designed to support children in Grades 1–3 who may be struggling with classroom behaviour, peer relationships, emotional regulation, or transitions at school.
This group provides a supportive environment where children can practice social and emotional skills after the school day, with guidance from trained clinicians. Sessions focus on building confidence, improving social awareness, and developing skills that transfer directly into the classroom and school setting.
