Caregiver Group: Emotion Focused Strategies for Supporting your Child or Youth
This group is open to patients of the Hamilton Family Health Team, or if you are a caregiver of a child in the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board and the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic School Board.
You can refer yourself to this group. For more information, or to sign up, call the Groups Line at 905-667-4852.
Offered both online and in-person based on patient preference. Once a week, for 6 weeks.
Caregivers will learn to respond to their child's distress and support emotion regulation. Caregivers with a child of any age and developmental stage will learn about skills to help with emotional challenges, support healthy behaviours and repair relationships.
