Welcome!

Welcome guests! The intent of my blog is to provide a place to post information related to children, families, mental health concerns and aspects of life that impact these. I often find great information that would be nice to share with others such as, interesting readings, videos, or links. Nothing on this blog should be taken as advice on its own, however, as readers/bloggers you should consult with your family doctor or mental health practitioner if an issue seems relevant to you.

Teen Run Therapy Group

I attended an interesting meeting today about a program facilitated by Cameron Runs of Toronto. It sees youth bridging therapies with running. Perhaps this program will become a reality in Collingwood.
