We offer our New Beginnings Day Services in a hybrid model – which includes daily Virtual Programs. THIS ADULT DAY PROGRAM CONSISTS OF SOCIAL, RECREATIONAL, AND THERAPEUTIC SERVICES FOR THOSE WITH SEIZURE disorders AND/OR BRAIN INJURIES IN A GROUP SETTING
The New Beginnings Day Program not only services these individuals, it doubles as support for family caregivers who provide day-to-day care.
Regularly scheduled activities run Monday to Friday and include: computer and technology classes, creative arts program, bowling, walking programs, cooking & nutrition, bullet journaling, games, discussion groups, scrapbooking/vision boarding, women’s social night, men’s social groups, and chair exercises. Seasonal activities such as mini putt are also available. Special events are often added to the monthly calendar such as movie nights, picnics, outings, tours, and guest speakers.
Gender-Based Violence work at the centre means listening to survivors, validating their experiences and providing compassionate care while helping survivors access healthcare, justice and other services. We work with survivors of intimate-partner violence to develop safety plans and establish support systems and meet personal goals. Clients can join virtual support groups and mindfulness-based groups.
The Brain Connect Program is a devices lending program that provides technology and training to qualifying individuals so they can log on to social, recreation, and medical meetings and appointments from home. Training in the safe use of applications and online sites is provided as well as training for each device and ongoing tech support. This program is currently possible through grants made available by the Hydro One Energizing Life Community Fund.
