How will your contribution have an impact?
Private sessions with award winning Chef Pam Fanjoy are customized for youth who are most likely to benefit from the individualized attention offered to help them cope with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, weight or dietary concerns, bullying or school-related problems, Autism, Asperger, attention difficulties, separation/divorce or other family concerns. As a clinical social worker and Chef, Pam easily puts youth at ease in the kitchen where useful life conversations naturally get stirred up in a more relaxed and delicious way!

THE PROGRAM INCLUDES: Working one on one with experienced Child & Adolescent and Family Therapist, an initial parent assessment appointment of 1.5 hours, then 3-4 hands on cooking sessions with your teen in the commercial restaurant kitchen at Fan/Joy in Hillsburgh or at 10C in downtown Guelph. After the culinary experience and getting to know your teen Chef Pam will provide parents with a 1.5 hour Parent Feedback Session to discuss how best to support your child during these difficult times, how to use their best strengths to improve their communication, cooperation and collaboration with others and how to address any specific concerns that you’ve brought to our table.
