Workshops
​
Join us at Acorn Psychology this summer for our New Summer Wellness Workshop Series!
Throughout July and August 2025, we’re offering unique, small-group workshops designed to support your child’s mental well-being, build coping and social skills, and foster a strong sense of connection through a neuroaffirmative lens. Each workshop includes interactive activities, games, and guided discussions led by our registered and provisional psychologists in a warm, supportive environment. Spaces are limited to keep groups personal, engaging, and impactful.
