Double T
The “Double T” (Self-Regulation) program is an eight week manualized, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for children aged 7-12 years and their caregivers. The sessions are theme-based and utilize practice and repetition to assist the children with understanding the new concepts and strategies.
Intervention themes include:
- Identifying problems, feelings, thoughts and “body talk” to help them for self-regulation
- Relaxation strategies and
- Identifying appropriate choices.
Focused on Emotional Regulation
These programs are offered in partnership with the School Boards and community schools primarily within the former City of York. The programs focus on building skills to promote social interaction and emotional well-being with the goal of assisting with academic success.
