About Us

Where healing is personal, and care is collaborative

At Embodied Resilience Wellness Clinic, we provide trauma-informed physical and mental health care for people who experience the world differently. Our work is especially grounded in supporting neurodivergent individuals (including ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD) and those healing from complex or developmental trauma.

This isn't a generalist clinic. Our providers bring lived experience, deep understanding in their respective disciplines, and over 2 decades of combined clinical experience working with nervous systems shaped by stress, difference, and adaptation. We understand the nuance - because many of us live it, not just study it.

Our collaborative team offers psychotherapy, physiotherapy and massage therapy,, working together to support nervous system regulation, resilience, and long-term capacity-not quick fixes. Care is available in person and virtually across Ontario, with more affordable options through supervised student practitioners.

You don't need to explain yourself here. You're met with respect, skill, and care that's designed for you.

Rural Response for Healthy Children is a non-profit charity that serves Huron County families. Our work contributes to fostering a healthy community of trusted adults where children and youth thrive.

Our team offers education and support groups, activities and workshops for parents / caregivers who are:

experiencing life transitions (pregnancy, new parents, starting school)

managing relationships between parent / child / school / community

coping with vulnerable situations (addictions, disabilities, domestic violence, financial challenges, illness, single parenting)

The team also educates children and youth with a focus on;

personal safety at home, in the community and online

social and emotional learning; including self-regulation and social skills

Rural Response for Healthy Children acknowledges that the geographic area we support is located on the traditional lands of the Ojibwa Chippewa of the Anishnaabe group of Indigenous peoples. Huron County is on territory that is covered by Crown Treaty Number 29, known as the Huron Tract Purchase of 1827. As a community, we have the responsibility for the stewardship of the land on which we live and work. We recognize and deeply appreciate the Indigenous historic connection to this place and the agreement with the Crown of Canada to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

Special Needs Program – TAVISTOCK TORNADOES

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
All children love to put on a uniform, to be part of a team, to enjoy the great outdoors and feel the thrill of friendly competition in playing soccer, often termed “The Beautiful Game”. Tavistock Tornadoes Soccer has offered these opportunities to our local community for many years. However, it is clear to us that there are many more children and youth in our surrounding community who want to play soccer but are unwilling or feel unable to participate in the programs we currently offer, as they have special needs that need to be accommodated. Once again this year, we plan to offer a “grass roots” soccer program for those in our communities with special needs. Our program is founded on the belief that people with disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports. Our aim is to improve the lives of people with disabilities, and in turn, the lives of everyone they touch.

Venue Guide

All gender washrooms are located on all levels of our theatre. These washrooms feature private and spacious stalls with floor-to-ceiling walls and doors and a mirror in each.

An additional private Universal Washroom (large enough for a wheelchair and support person, with grab bars and adult-sized changing table), is available via the Main Floor Lobby.

Toilets in the second floor washroom have quieter manual gravity flush mechanisms. Toilets in the other washrooms use automatic pressure-assist ed flush mechanisms and are louder. None of our washrooms use electric hand dryers.

Relaxed Performances are intended to be sensitive to and welcoming of Neurodivergent Audiences, including patrons on the autism spectrum, those with sensory and communication disorders, ADHD, learning or developmental disabilities, dementia, all members of the Disability community, or those who simply want a more relaxed theatre experience.

Relaxed Performances are designed to offer a less restrictive audience environment. They differ from other performances by allowing patrons to leave and re-enter throughout the show, reducing sensory elements such as light and sound, and eliminating startling effects such as strobe lights and fog.

Young children and babes in arms are welcome at Relaxed Performances.

Skills, Tests, Achievement, Recognition - this is what STARSkate is all about!

STARSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of free skate, skating skills, ice dance and interpretive skating. Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in a group and/or private lesson format in a progressive and sequential manner and includes specifically designed awards and incentives. Skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada tests through a nationally standardized testing system. Skaters who have mastered figure skating skills in STARSkate may also choose to pursue competitive skating, synchronized skating or pairs skating.

Trained and certified professional coaches provide the instruction for this program, focusing on fundamental physical movement and skating skills. At SSC we are proud to offer group instruction for our STARSkaters which provides them with active, engaging and fun programming that is skater centred and allows each skater to progress at their own pace.
How STARSkate works:
The STARSkate program consists of figure skating skills in four disciplines - Free Skate, Skating Skills, Ice Dance and Interpretive. In accordance with Long Term Athlete Development philosophy skaters exit the CanSkate (Learn To Skate) pathway and enter the STAR 1 to 5 (formerly Preliminary and Junior Bronze) pathway which is geared to skaters who are entering a figure skating program for the first time. At this stage the focus is on the development and consolidation of basic figure skating skills, with an emphasis on free skating, while continuing to develop motor skills, agility, balance, coordination, rhythm, time/space orientation, speed, dexterity and control. At this point in a skater's development the goal is to provide internal, informal assessment that removes any barriers that may hinder the skater from progressing as they acquire skills in the four disciplines. Skaters may progress at different rates through the different disciplines - everyone has their own strengths and areas of interest and the informal assessment system encourages this individuality.

As skaters grow and develop they are ready to acquire more complex skills. At this point in their skating they move into a more formalized external assessment system. Test days are scheduled throughout the skating year and skaters will be tested by trained evaluators when coaches have determined that they have attained and surpassed the minimum standards required to pass the tests at that level. Test are arranged to become progressively more challenging and at this stage skaters generally progress at various rates through the four disciplines.

Throughout their journey through the different levels of STARSkate, skaters are provided with opportunities to compete/perform in events that are scheduled both within and outside of the community. At the initial levels of competition skaters are not ranked and receive individual assessments of the skills they have performed. Skaters have an introduction to the performance aspect of the sport without the added stress of worrying how they will compare to the other skaters in their event. This non-ranked format has been adopted by most sports in Canada at the introductory levels to allow young athletes the best possible environment in which to develop their performance skills. As skaters progress to higher levels of competition they will enter ranked events when it is felt they have the appropriate sport specific skills and mental strength to handle this more challenging environment. From here skaters can attempt to progress to the Provincial or National level in various categories through qualifying competitions in the disciplines of Free Skate, Pairs and Ice Dance.

Our Goal for the "One-to-One Program

The primary goal of our "One-to-One" program is for the child, who has special needs, to have a safe, rewarding and above all fun and exciting experience while in our care at camp. "One-to-One" counsellors will work with family members to ensure they understand and receive the appropriate respite care instructions and strategies, to deal with each child's unique challenges while they participate in our recreational camping programs.

Our "One-to-One" program also emphasizes life skills by providing opportunities for peer-to-peer relationship building with the other able-bodied children. A safe, secure and fun environment also helps to build the child's self-esteem by giving them positive reinforcements, in an organized and controlled environment. Finally, making new friends for many of these children is a memory that will last a lifetime.

Who uses our "One-to-One" Program

Our "One-to-One" program is available to families living within the Hamilton-Wentworth and surrounding communities. For many families, the challenges of caring for a loved one are an exhausting part of daily life. Providing additional supportive care can also be cost prohibitive. However, the C.Y.O. understands that offering hope and support is essential to the overall health and well-being of the family and their loved one.

Families that request the use our "One-to-One" program have children with diverse special needs. These children have any combination of the following physical, behavioural and/or developmental disabilities, such as: Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Hearing & Visually impaired, Angelman Syndrome, Scoliosis, Downs Syndrome, ADD / ADHD and Autism, just to name a few.

Please note that in Hamilton alone, the total percentage of the population with disabilities (18.3 per cent, or 91,440 people) is higher than the provincial average (13.5 per cent, or 1,514,380 people) and the national average (12.4 per cent, or 3,601,270 people) - Statistics Canada 2001.

This fact is evident in all age categories as illustrated below:

Hamilton average: 0 - 14 yr. olds: 4.2%, 15 and over: 21.6%, 65 and over: 60.8%

Provincial average: 0 - 14 yr. olds: 3.5%, 15 and over: 16.0%, 65 and over: 44.9%

National average: 0 - 14 yr. olds: 3.3%, 15 and over: 14.6%, 65 and over: 40.5%
