TRAINING IN CORE SOCIAL SKILLS FOR THE NEW YEAR!

Posted on December 21, 2020 by Sasha McCauleyDecember 21, 2020
Good afternoon,
 
We know many of you are focused right now on getting everything, and everyone you might be responsible for, settled and ready for the holidays. Hoping you plan some rest for yourself too!
 
We wanted to let you know that we have a few openings in our Training in Core Social Skills program starting in January, both in our group and in our 1-1 Social Coaching program.
 
We intend to continue to offer our treatment services in-person, as we are a regulated health service provider. We follow all AHS guidelines very strictly to be able to offer in-person treatment safely. However, given the increased need for safety at the current time, we will be having limited numbers of people in our groups, and we have thought up some extra creative strategies to offer programming safely as well. 
 
When we cannot offer treatment services safely in-person, we have also been able to provide treatment online with a great deal of success, when needed! (If a child or clinician might not pass the health screening due to some mild symptoms, travel outside of the country, or exposure to Covid-19, etc.) 
 
We are flexible, where possible, to provide online services when our clients feel more comfortable with that option as well.
 
Please call the office at the number below or email office@eckertchildpsych.ca are interested in any of our January programming!
 
Happy Holidays,
 
Corinne
