Owl Kids Group Program

Supporting children (aged 7-12) who are currently, or have experienced parental separation.

The Owl Kids program provides children with a safe space to develop their emotional literacy through creative therapy, build resilience, and connect with other children in similar situations.

For many children, their parents' separation can change how they view or make sense of the world, their relationships, and safety. Owl Kids helps children to make sense of their world and navigate through the changes they may experience.
