- Giving up sports and other activities they used to enjoy
- Isolating from the family and real world friends
- Aggressive and disrespectful to you when separated from their electronic addiction
- Placing gaming over schoolwork
- Staying up all hours to play or be online
- Depressed and irritable when not on the computer or game
- Replacing real life relationships with gaming
- Seemingly disinterested in anything or everything else besides gaming

School Dilemma:

This year Canadian parents have a difficult choice. What to do about school in light of the risks related to COVID-19 exposure and Coronavirus spread in schools? For many, this summer was different, more challenging and families were facing uncertainty. But now, a new challenge lies ahead. What will the new school year bring?

Consistent Support – No Disruption:

When other programs and schools were closing, Venture Academy took action to ensure that the kids in our care were safe and could continue to receive the treatment and education they needed without disruption, including throughout the summer months. As an essential service and youth treatment provider, we remained open and implemented protocols and procedures according to our governing bodies’ directives that ensured that our staff and kids would remain safe, and youth in our program could continue with social and emotional support and their academic work.

Safe and Experienced:

As a result, we are especially well positioned and experienced to help your child with their school and education during Covid-19. Our assessment, treatment and academic programs are well defined, predictable, consistent, safe and effective. We are and will be here for your child, to help address their needs, get them back on track and prepared to return home and to school.
If the upcoming school year has you concerned, or if your child struggles, or begins to exhibit unhealthy behaviors, we can help. We are the dependable alternative.

Our program is available now for immediate admissions or just to talk. Our team is standing by.
