Age-appropriate Care and Support

• Substance use and process addictions often
  disrupt the accessibility, responsiveness, and
  engagement of caregivers. The can greatly
  impact infants, children and teens, shaping the
  way they see themselves, loved ones, and the
  world at large. We focus on healing the whole
  family and offer services that are specifically
  designed to meet the needs of infants, children,
  and teens.

• Infants, children and teens can become acutely
  aware of the ways in which substance use or
  process addiction changes their caregivers
  behavior, interactions, and emotional
  responsiveness. They can become vigilant about
  observing the climate of the home and adapting
  their behavior accordingly.

• They are also vulnerable to feeling they are
  to blame or responsible for keeping family life
  together. Substance use and process addiction can
  create secrecy and loneliness and we seek to
  remedy this with services that are transparent,
  safe, and supportive.

Repair your Relationship

• Change their future
• At The Center for Connection, Healing and
  Change, we help parents talk to their children,
  in age-appropriate ways, about substance use,
  process addiction and treatment.

6

• Our Infant, Child, and Teen Healing Program
  aims to help children understand that addiction
  is not their fault, they didnt cause it, and
  they cannot control or cure it.
• Where children have become disconnected from
  themselves and others as a way of coping, it may
  take practice for them to be able to identify and
  process their emotions.

7

• Our staff team are trained and
  experienced at helping infants, children, and
  teens heal from addiction in the context of their
  most important relationships.
• We also support children to share with their
  caregiver the impact that addiction has had on
  them, and how they have been thinking and feeling
  about it.

8

• We support parents to be accessible,
  responsive, and engaged during this process. We
  actively support parents to strengthen and repair
  the connection between themselves and their child.

Age-appropriate Therapy Services

• Infants, Children, and Teens
• The Child and Teen Healing Program offer
  services that are tailored to meet the age and
  developmental needs of each child. We work with
  families where substance use or process addiction
  may have disrupted the connection with their
  infant, child, or teen.

10

• We offer play therapy, talk therapy,
  parenting support, and family therapy. We also
  offer a range of practical infant-caregiver
  bonding tools that support parents to feel
  confident that they are meeting the needs of
  their baby.
• This includes getting to know your babys
  responses to auditory, visual, and social stimuli
  and the amazing range of tools they have been
  born with to help them regulate their own
  emotions and bodily processes.

11

• We also work with the wide range of
  additional issues that can exist on the inside of
  children and teens, such as anxiety, depression
  and loss. We take an holistic approach in our
  work with children, helping them to reconnect
  with their wholeness and resiliency.
