***COVID-19 UPDATE MARCH 18, 2021***
It’s been a year and we’re still here!
With the ups and downs of the last 12 months, Dreamcatcher would like its clients and visitors to know that we are still providing therapeutic and recreational services. We have expanded our programs to include the Rejuvenation Program for front line workers and first responders, and our behaviour supports program, but also hired more therapists to meet the needs of our clients. We have many new protocols in place to help keep everyone safe and are offering in person, online or telephone sessions. We have already posted our Animal Assisted Intervention trainings for 2021 and are excited to announce our specialized summer camps for children and youth with Tourette Syndrome.
Our admins are both working in the office and our therapists are back to being available Monday - Thursday from 9am - 8pm!
Cant find what you are looking for or have questions about services? Email us at info@dreamcatcherassociation.com where we are happy to help!
