Emotion Coaching is an approach parents can use with their children when addressing anxiety, fear and sadness. Building emotional awareness and providing strategies to address negative feelings helps youth better cope with difficult and uncertain times.
Led by Dr. Raechelle Paperny, this virtual session aims to provide parents with resources to offer emotional support for their children, increase responsiveness and give parents agency. Dr. Paperny’s clinical practice focuses on strengthening family relationships using her expertise in the fields of attachment, interpersonal-neurobiology, and developmental psychology.
Recognizing that strong families build strong communities, JFSC’s Family Enrichment Program uses an outreach approach that aims to strengthen and promote healthy family environments. Services include education, positive parenting programs, youth mental health support, financial coaching, resettlement support, job coaching and assisting families in accessing community resources. Sheila Gurevitch supports youth mental health as part of this Program.

Every Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Feb 11, 2022 - Mar 12, 2022 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s The Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical comedy featuring the beloved characters and hit songs from the films!
It is present-day, and in the kingdom of Auradon, all of Disney’s beloved heroes and royalty are living happily ever after, safe from the terrifying villains and troublesome sidekicks they have banished to the magic-free Isle of the Lost. That is until Ben, the benevolent teenage son of Belle and King Adam (The Beast), offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of the evilest villains. Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos - the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar - are welcomed to Auradon Prep to attend school with the children of their parents’ sworn enemies. Now entering a completely foreign world and way of life, the four Villain Kids have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good? The show is planned to be presented at 50 percent capacity. Should provincial restrictions be lifted, more seats may be made available.
