This year has been full of setbacks, disappointments and anxiety. For athletes and high level performers, there are additional losses and stressors that can complicate this already difficult situation. BUT, this year has given us an amazing opportunity to strengthen our mental skills and improve the mind-body connection. Our side project- Perform has set out to bring you free content and tools to help improve your performance and reach peak levels while we wait for life, and... sport seasons to get back on track. Check out the supine chest opener which is a great tool for reducing stress, anxiety and improving relaxation, sleep and calm. Check out Perform on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/performbyswc/

This week is Children's Mental Health Week #CMHW2020 and what we know about treating children's mental health is that Play Therapy is a preferred modality as children's primary language is play. This is a video explaining how we work with children using Play Therapy, and the benefits that this can offer to children struggling with mental health issues. As the recent pandemic has limited our ability to provide face-to-face services to our children, our therapists have been us...ing creative, play-based interventions with our children through video sessions. Don't wait, reach out to us or any of the amazing community resources because #kidscantwait visuals by Frameworks Media Inc.
