Recreational Therapy

Childcan's support group will guide you through how play-time can be therapy-time!

“Our daughter Maya counted the days until the next (Recreational Therapy) session, asking me how many more sleeps. Maya looked forward to spending time with us and with the other families. Maya was sad that our sessions ended.”

Good news Maya! We are opening up Recreational Therapy for the fall in both London and Windsor!

All Childcan families are welcome to register, whether you've previously participated or not.

This therapy is for your whole family. Spots are limited. There is no cost to attend. No experience is necessary as you will be guided through the entire process by the specialists at Jess Jones Recreational Therapy Inc. Jessie is a Childcan Mom.

In Windsor, we are excited to partner with our friends at Little Hands Kids for a Cause to bring you four sessions for the fall program, which are: Open Creativity, Forest Bathing, Photo Voice, and Dinner/Picnic. Sessions will run on Sundays, Oct 20, 27, Nov 3, and 10, from 1-3pm at the Community Support Centre of Essex County, 962 Old Tecumseh Rd, Unit 4, Belle River, ON N0R 1A0. See map here. The session on October 27, 2024 will be held outdoors at a location TBD. Register for these sessions here. Note, so many spots have been taken that we have now started a wait list.

In London, the fall program will run on the first Wednesday of each month, from 6:30-8:30pm at:
Hutton House, 654 Wonderland Rd N, London, ON N6H 3E5. See map here.
