Animal Facilitated Wellness Workshops
Lil' Steps offers a variety of workshops tailored for various needs including managing and regulating emotions, increasing positive sense of self and identity, leadership, healthy relationships, building trust, etc. We are open to your feedback in what you would like to see and feel is a need for your child.
'Being Me' Workshop
We offer a four-session workshop for children between the ages of 6-18 years old experiencing anxiety or are having difficulties with emotional regulation. In these workshops, your child will learn about anxiety and how to cope with difficult emotions related to anxiety.
Research indicates the importance of self-awareness around symptoms and causes of anxiety for children – hence empowering them to be able to overcome difficulties related to anxiety. The workshop is fun and interactive and will help increase self-awareness, confidence, and emotional regulation skills.
Anxiety can be quite debilitating for a child and often the child feels that they are the only one experiencing anxious feelings and thoughts. In this workshop, your child will be able to connect with others who are experiencing the same difficulties, recognizing that they are not alone and that anxiety can be managed.
Dates and Times: To Be Announced
Cost: $125 per child plus GST ($131.25) for four-session workshop
