📱 “Just five more minutes!”
If you’ve heard this before, you’re definitely not alone.

For so many families, screens have become a daily source of stress. Parents worry about screen time, kids don’t want to unplug, and somehow everyone ends up frustrated.

But here’s the good news: the goal isn’t to get rid of screens.

Technology is part of everyday life—and it’s not all bad. 💻✨

The goal? Helping kids build a healthy relationship with technology. One that includes balance, boundaries, and plenty of real-life moments, too.

Head to our blog to learn why kids are struggling with screen time, what the healthy screen time recommendations are by age, and more.

Play is so much more than entertainment for children, it’s the foundation of learning, emotional development, and growth.

Through play, children make sense of their world, express feelings they may not yet have words for, and practice skills like communication, problem-solving, focus, and emotional regulation.

Our PA Day Therapeutic Camp, Acorn Adventures, offers a unique blend of creativity, connection, and skill-building in a small, supportive group led by child and family therapists!

Coffee & Connection is back ☕️

At the heart of meaningful community care is connection — between clinicians, organizations, community partners, and the people doing important work across Hamilton.

After our first gathering, we’re excited to bring the community together again for another Coffee & Connection — a space to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, share resources, and learn more about the incredible work happening across our city.

This gathering is about more than exchanging business cards. It’s about building relationships, creating opportunities for collaboration, and strengthening the network of people supporting our community.

No presentations. No pressure. Just coffee, conversation, resource sharing, and genuine connection.

☕️ Come meet. Come share. Come connect.    

📅 Thursday September 10th
⏰ 10am-12pm
📍In person at Acorn Counselling
💌 RSVP Required — https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdft6pWN8RgqwZD_Tz06FSrM_7spznShQ7CbITdnOdAhMh7fQ/viewform

Professionals and community partners are welcome to bring flyers, brochures, business cards, workshop information, or other community resources to share.

Whether you joined us last time or this will be your first Coffee & Connection, we’d love to have you there.

Let’s keep building a stronger, more connected Hamilton together. 💛

What is DBT?

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based form of talk therapy that helps people better understand and manage difficult emotions, navigate relationships, and cope with challenging situations.

DBT focuses on practical skills in four key areas:
✨ Mindfulness — staying present and aware of your thoughts and feelings
✨ Emotion regulation — understanding and managing intense emotions
✨ Distress tolerance — learning healthy ways to cope with overwhelming emotions and difficult situations in the moment
✨ Interpersonal effectiveness — communicating needs, setting boundaries, and strengthening relationships

Interested in DBT? Our incredible team of social workers and psychotherapists would love to support you.
