Ensuring a child is thriving during their developmental journey is an absolutely essential part of families living their best quality of life. However, for too many families, finances act as a barrier and make receiving the essential care and support their children need inaccessible. That’s why we offer several mental health resources to families and their children at Sparkling Seeds.
These resources range from governmental funding in Ontario to family support and more. At Sparkling Seeds, we’re dedicated to providing mental health assistance to any families in the Greater Toronto Area whose children and teens require specialized help, whether through our diagnostic assessment services, our various specialized services, or our group programs.
