Family Coaching Programs

Welcome to Simcoe Social Skills (SSS) and our Family Coaching Program (FCP).

Does your family have a child between the ages of 4-12 that has been diagnosed or is suspected of having a developmental concern? Does your family need additional support within your life space? If so, we can design a therapeutic program to support and promote your family dynamics and development. Our FCP facilitator selects its families based on what SSS can provide and what the needs are of a potential family. We welcome families to apply that have a child diagnosed or suspected of having:

• ADHD
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Learning Disabilities
• Mental Health Concerns
• Generalized or Specific Anxiety Disorders
• Developmental Disabilities
• Acquired Brain Injuries
• Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
• Grief and Loss Programs Coming Soon

Our FCP is an 8 week program with 1 hour sessions that follow specific themes and use a therapeutic play approach guided by cognitive and behavioural goals. Each weekly session will be designed and structured to meet the needs of your family by using engaging activities and discussions. These sessions can either be in-person or virtual, depending on location and program needs.

Below are some Family Coaching Program (FCP) examples:

• An 8 week program based around Social Skills
• An 8 week program based around Emotional Growth
• An 8 week program based around Family Function, Development and Dynamics
• An 8 week program based around Healthy Habits
• An 8 week program based around Crisis Prevention & Safety Plans.
• An 8 week program based around Intervention Strategies.

The program facilitator will review your application, arrange and complete an assessment, and will determine if your family is successfully selected. Once it has been determined that your family has been successfully selected, payment is due within 7 days of being notified to hold your program spot. If payment is not received within the 7 day period your family may be placed on a waitlist. Email transfers are accepted and receipts are issued upon deposit. Please be aware that we do not offer refunds due to programming costs.
