Infant and Child Studies group is a group of researchers interested in better understanding child cognition: so how kids learn! All our studies are designed as games for children to play while we observe how they respond to various toys, videos or sounds. The activities are fun for the kids, and help us to understand concepts like how children learn new words, when children can begin to understand math, or what learning strategies kids use to understand new concepts. We deliver studies in person, as well as online and in take home formats.

University of Guelph. part of the Child Emotion and Mental Health Lab, where we research ways to support families of children experiencing mental health challenges.
The Child Emotion and Mental Health Lab at the University of Guelph is currently running an Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) caregiver group (so children don't attend the group itself).
This group is aimed at supporting caregivers with children aged 7 to 15 who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or behavioural difficulties, with our next group starting at the beginning of March. Fees for therapy are on sliding scale starting at $0 depending on financial need.
If interested in learning more, please fill out this brief, secure survey with your name, email, and phone number, and we will be in touch!
