SHARE’s Programs & Services for Neurodiverse Youth
Posted on May 27, 2024 by
Thanks to a generous grant from RBC, SHARE’s innovative Youth Wellness Program has provided neurodivergent youth with effective and uniquely designed tools and strategies, to manage the challenges and stressors that they face in their everyday lives. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, SHARE has seen an increase in the need for inclusive youth services that address isolation, anxiety and depression. The primary objective of this program is to empower neurodivergent youth and improve mental health outcomes, as well as support and provide tools to Parents/Caregivers in their journey alongside their youth who may be struggling.
