TVCC Youth with disabilities, 12 yrs + and their siblings who reside within Elgin/Middlesex, Huron/Perth, Grey/Bruce & Oxford County.
What to Expect
Join Horizons and The Wellness Project for Nintendo Switches parties this summer? We connect TVCC's Nintendo Switch consoles to two big screens for everyone to play together. We have a few games to choose from, or youth are also welcome to bring any multiplayer games they'd like to play with the group.
Through this program, youth will:
- Practice social skills through turn taking, group activities, and peer connection
- Boost their self-confidence
- Improve communication skills through shared activities and cooperative play
Participant Criteria:
- TVCC clients and their siblings ages 12+
- Able to participate in group activities and discussion with minimal support; participants are welcome to have a support person present to assist them
- Interested in Nintendo Switch/video games
This program is facilitated by TVCC's Horizons Youth Program and TVCC's Wellness Project. The Wellness Project is a three-year program aimed at rebuilding and enhancing mental wellness for youth and their families. We understand that the past few years have brought unique challenges, and we want to help. We're running programs with a focus on connection, mindfulness, physical activity, and new skills.
