Nurturing Strengths, Cultivating Confidence:
Guiding Teens with Autism on their Journey to Self-Discovery
Elemenoe’s EmpowerU program is for youth and teens to develop their social, emotion & life skills in order to lead a healthy, fulfilling future.
At Elemenoe, we understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with being neurodivergent teen, and we're dedicated to providing comprehensive support for every individual. Our program offers a tailored approach with both 1:1 therapy options and small group learning opportunities, ensuring a personalized and collaborative experience.
In our safe and inclusive environment, teens embark on a journey of self-discovery, focusing on crucial life skills such as:
emotion regulation
building friendships
conversation skills
organization
time management.
We go beyond the basics, delving into important aspects of personal development like goal setting and navigating post-secondary education.
Our therapists create a dynamic curriculum that addresses the diverse needs of our teens, covering essential topics such as sexual health and puberty in a sensitive and supportive manner. We believe in fostering independence, empowering each teen to reach their full potential and confidently navigate the challenges of adolescence and beyond.
