CDL are happy to be offering a new program called Homework Health.

 

This program is for neurodiverse teenagers in grade 9-12 but all are welcome to join. 

Teens can drop in at any time and leave at any time. When they come, they can grab a snack, and work on homework with the support of our educators. They can also get free mental health support and tools from our Youth Mental Health Workers. They can also just use it as a safe space.

 

We are offering it on Tuesdays and Fridays, 3-5 at 6 Acorn St (Near Sanford and King St). We are offering it in Halton at White Oaks Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Glen Abbey on Wednesdays at various times.  

On Saturday, April 12 HPL will be hosting a How-To Fair at Central Library, featuring two fantastic programs. Both programs require registration, so make sure you encourage anyone interested to sign up via the links below. They are FREE!
