Jupiter

Program Objectives: 

​

The Jupiter group combines PATH (Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope) with the ACT Matrix/Mind Stretch framework, also offering hands-on support for post-secondary and job readiness. In the group, learners will envision their preferred future (via PATH), build psychological awareness and flexibility (via ACT Matrix / Mind Stretch), and engage in practical work on exploring schools and programs, crafting applications, preparing resumes and CVs, practicing interviews, refining their research skills, and navigating application and job search processes. The aim is to support them not only in dreaming big but in acquiring the mindset, tools, and concrete steps needed to transition into further education or employment.

• Students will articulate clearer hopes, values, and direction through PATH maps.  

  

Emotional regulation:

How We Monitor Progress​:

Your child's progress is monitored throughout the term; not just at the end.

 

Before the program
An individual assessment helps us identify learning needs, establish goals, and determine appropriate group placement.

 

During each session
Facilitators observe and support each learner's participation, peer relations and interactions through role playing, conflict resolution based on problem solving skills and perspective taking, behaviours, and progress toward their individualized learning goals.

 

Every month
Our facilitators meet to review learner progress and discuss programming adjustments and group placement when needed.

 

Mid-term
Families have an individual meeting with our team to discuss their child's progress, goals, and next steps.

 

End of term
Families receive a written progress report summarizing their child's progress and areas for continued development.

 

See What Your Child Is Learning:

​

We know that parents want to understand what happens after they drop their child off.

Through our private Bridge Kids group app, families can see photos from each session and learn about the activities and skills their child worked on that day.​
