Children in Care
Children in care often face unique challenges—multiple transitions, feelings of loss, and uncertainty about where they belong. Play therapy offers them a safe and nurturing space to process their experiences, build trust, and express what may be hard to put into words.
​
Through play, children can begin to make sense of their story, develop healthy coping strategies, and strengthen their sense of identity and resilience. I work alongside caregivers, social workers, and families to support the child’s emotional wellbeing, helping them feel seen, heard, and valued as they grow.
My Story
I began my experience working with Children in Care (CIC) and their families as I worked as a Caregiver in Group Homes. The purpose of the group homes that I worked for was to help children as young as 5-6 to 13 that have difficultly in home situation like foster homes. I was and I a still am very grateful for my experiences and the many lessons I learned from little ones. It was during this time that I became motivated to look to working clinically with children and youth in the future.
​
My next significant experience working with CICs was as a Guardianship Services Social Worker with a Delegated Service Agency. I was able work closely with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, many Provincial Resources, a cultural practices.
​
As I transitioned into clinical practice I was able to draw upon my experience working with children, families, agencies to dedicate a majority of my practice in working with children and children in care.
