Current programs available:
Caregiver support (Circle 5)
Therapy (Neurofeedback, art and play therapy)
Literacy skill development
A Portrait of the Program: Art Therapy
An interview with Frauke Reddick, one of the art therapists at SOS BC. She explains what art therapy is and how it helps foster children supported by the Outreach Programs to process negative emotions in an acceptable and positive way. She also talks about the wonderful mural all the children in the Village worked together to paint.
Neurofeedback Therapy Explained
This is a fascinating demonstration of a high-tech, emerging therapy called Neurofeedback, which SOS BC has had great results with. This technique is used to help foster children that suffer from behavourial, sleep and brain disorders by teaching the brain to function better.
