What is involved?

This program aims to teach Executive Skills through a simple video making workshop, ideal for aspiring YouTubers who want to learn how to shoot and edit short videos on their personal devices. It will be a blend of creative expression and real life application of skills, while also allowing participants an opportunity to collaborate with their peers!  Each participant will need to bring their own device (phone, ipad or laptop) to work with for this workshop (or talk to us if you need a loaner device to participate), and headphones will be helpful if you have them available.  

This program is led by Dan Zaitzow, Ontario Certified Teacher and Executive Function specialist.  Dan also has training in DBT methods and will incorporate DBT-informed strategies into the video making process.

Our therapeutic goals are to help people learn:

  • Long-term planning
  • Breaking large tasks into smaller chunks
  • Identifying the end goal and working backwards
  • Visualizing and externalizing their planning
  • Organizing their tasks and workload
  • Awareness of deadlines, improving time management skills
  • Focusing on the task at hand

How much does it cost?

  • The program is $500 for the week
  • The financial commitment is for the full week
  • Participants are billed for each session after they are attended
