SUMMARY:FASD Themed Series: The Foster Family Coalition of the NWT
DESCRIPTION:Please join Tammy Roberts\, Leesa Myers and Sandra Noel from The Foster Family Coalition of the NWT to discuss the 4Y and 4Y Justice Programs.  The 4Y Program began in June 2019 due to the apparent need for direct support for young people with PAE and FASD as they transition into adulthood.  \nIn Yellowknife\, the 4Y Program complements other community programs and services available to support the youth participants\, therefore contributing to a higher quality of care in the city. It also supports caregivers and others in the youth’s social network\, which improves the capacity for care. This is done by providing a Navigator to spend 4 hours a week with the youth to encourage improved physical and mental health\, improved self-confidence and self-determination\, more community involvement in the transition planning of the youth in the community and prevention and reduction of additional challenges such as mental health issues\, addictions\, police involvement\, and self-harm. The 4Y Program provides 8 hours a week with a Navigator to youth involved in the justice system. \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n  \nTammy Roberts has been the Executive Director of the Foster Family Coalition of the Northwest Territories since 2009 and in this position facilitates PRIDE Training and provides support to foster and adoptive parents and child protection workers across the territory. She also is the secretary of the Canadian Foster Family Association\, participates on the National Executive Director’s Working Group and is the Co-chair of the CanFASD Research Network Family Advisory Committee.  \nSandra Noel is the Director of the Northwest Territories on the board of Youth in Care Canada. She works with directors from other provinces and territories to improve the lives of all youth in care. Noel hopes to become a voice for the NWT’s children in care\, adding she herself felt ‘voiceless’ at times while growing up. \nLeesa Myers is the Coordinator of the 4Y/GLOW with The Foster Family Coalition of the NWT \n  \nFamily Support Institute of BC (FSI) is a provincial not-for-profit society committed to supporting families who have a family member with a disability.\nFSI is unique in Canada and the only grassroots family to family organization that has a broad volunteer base.\nFSI SUPPORTS AND SERVICES ARE FREE TO ANY FAMILY \n*FG

SUMMARY:Exploring Sensory Processing: An interactive workshop at TWO
DESCRIPTION:This World’s Ours Centre is hosting an Interactive Family Workshop with Olivia Hoffsuemmer (Occupational Therapist) \nThis workshop will explore Sensory Processing. \nBring your child with you to play & learn together in an interactive session which will give you some ideas on how your child may benefit from exploring their senses & how to continue to develop these ideas together at home. \nChildren use their senses during all their first experiences to help them make sense of the world. Olivia will support you to understand how your senses help you do this. You will learn about the benefits of multisensory play; such as using sensory bins. You will discover how these can stimulate our senses\, promote emotional regulation\, and develop fine motor skills. Olivia will then show you how to create your own personalised sensory bin with your little ones\, so that you can incorporate all you have learnt to see\, touch\, smell\, and hear the benefits of sensory play for yourself. \nPlease note there is a $10 fee to cover cost of your personalised sensory bin. We accept Autism Funding. \nThis workshop is ideally suited to a parent & child aged 3-6 working & playing together.  \nTo get the most from this session\, we recommend that parents & children participate together. Please note that there is no childcare for this event so you will need to make alternative arrangements if your child can not attend. \nPlease contact us & visit our website for more information \nWebsite: www.thisworldsours.com \nEmail: info@thisworldsours.com \nTo register please follow the link below & register by Saturday 10th December 2022. \nhttps://www.amilia.com/store/en/this-worlds-ours-centre-corp/shop/activities/4177350 \n
