Art Alive is an art-based program designed to facilitate opportunities to practice social skills within a coached/instruction-based environment. This program is great for those benefiting from more support & coaching following Conversation Cues. 

Practice and boost social skills weekly through games & activities. Each session, relevant social skills will be covered to enhance the social skill toolbox involving playing games with others. We will also focus on learning to play (the game, if required), following the game rules, and appropriately handling situations that occur while playing games. 

Our Teen Respite Group offers a safe and engaging environment for teenagers who benefit from social interaction and positive peer experiences. 

This program is designed to provide respite for caregivers while empowering teens to develop essential social skills through fun, structured activities. 

Each session incorporates games, creative projects, and group discussions, all facilitated by trained staff who encourage communication, cooperation, and empathy. 

We focus on building confidence, fostering friendships, and promoting positive social interactions in a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Ultimately, our program aims to enhance the teens' social well-being and independence while offering a rewarding and enjoyable respite experience.
