The Safety Zone
A new Fall 2011 Safety Zone group session is being scheduled in our Milton & Oakville offices.
Safety Zone offers group support to children 4-13, and teens when there are sufficient numbers, to heal from the impact of exposure to woman abuse, after family separation. Safety Zone supports mothers to understand the impact upon their children, and to take an active role in assisting in their children's healing.
There is no fee to attend this program.
A family pre-group screening interview is necessary before starting.
Please call Susan at 905-845-3811 ext. 106 to schedule.
Screening appointments are being booked now.
