I can’t fully express the gratitude that I have for our team here at Heritage. I appreciate and admire the dedication, capableness, heart, and creativity of each therapist and admin support person here.

Today, we held our last summer group session for children.

Here’s a note from the group leaders:

The amount of growth in these groups has been a joy to experience. Today we reviewed themes and activities from the 8 weeks of groups sessions. We finished with celebrations and collaborative activities. We are grateful for each group member and their willingness to share and help create successful summer group sessions at HCW.

For every child and family who has participated this summer, we thank you so very much for sharing your time with us.

It’s our honor to keep growing together. 🤗🌾

Our team was able to learn about the CRM (Community Resiliency Model) today, as we hosted the amazing presenters from The Poe Center. 🎉
This is truly an excellent mental health training, and it’s open to anyone (not just therapists).

This program is grant-funded, so it is offered fro free. I’ve attached a link to access registration for their training in Sanford on Aug. 13th from 4-6pm.

🎉Today was our 4th week of Summer Groups for Children! 🎉

Today, we learned more about ways we can work together as a community to be stronger for one another. The groups learned from from an experienced veteran about his medic experiences in Africa, Hawaii, Afghanistan, and more.
Additionally, the kids decorated rocks with positive messages to spread kindness throughout our community, wrote appreciation cards for family and community helpers, and put together 15 shelf stable meal bags to donate to local blessing boxes throughout the county.

We’re so thankful for the opportunity to have these groups.
Our group leadership team is doing such a wonderful job!
⭐️Thank you so much Kathy Wood, Laura Jessup, Laura Baker, Brenna Wood, Demianna Loos, and Kristen Bass!!⭐️

We have four weeks left of groups, and enrollment is still open. Email us at [email protected] for more information. 🤗

One of the most beautiful parts of this profession is that we get a front row seat to human resilience.
People survive things they never should have had to survive. And somehow they keep going.

If you're a therapist reading this, never underestimate the hope you help hold.💛

Behaviour is information.

It's easy to focus on what we can see—tantrums, defiance, withdrawal, aggression, or tears. But behaviour is often the final expression of something happening beneath the surface.

A child may be navigating sensory overload, cognitive fatigue, emotional overwhelm, or a nervous system that doesn't yet feel safe enough to regulate.

When we only respond to the behaviour, we can miss the reason it's happening.

This doesn't mean we ignore boundaries or expectations. It means we become curious about what the behaviour is communicating, while still providing the guidance children need.

When we support what's happening underneath, lasting change is much more likely to follow.
