Roxanne Madison
My name is Roxanne Madison and I am a Child and Youth Care Practitioner (CYC-P). I believe that every child deserves to feel valued, understood, and supported and I am dedicated to being a compassionate and safe ally for your child and family on this journey.
I have dedicated my career to supporting the growth and development of children and adolescents, providing them with the guidance and tools they need to thrive. My journey began with a deep passion for understanding the unique challenges that young people face and a commitment to making a positive difference in their lives.
Through my work, I have had the privilege of collaborating with families, educators, and community organizations to create nurturing environments where children can flourish. I specialize in supporting children and youth who are experiencing behavioural challenges by assisting with the development of emotional regulation, coping skills, social/emotional and life skills, and executive functioning. I take special interest in working with neurodiverse children and youth and ensure to maintain an individual-centered approach to meet your child with their specific needs. I utilize a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, focusing on the inherent potential within each child and youth, and empowering them to achieve their goals.
After work, I enjoy reading, exploring nature with my pup, Barry, and spending time with my family. These activities not only provide me joy but also help give me fresh perspectives and renewed inspiration for my professional endeavours. Being a Child and Youth Care Practitioner is more than a profession for me; it is my calling and commitment to making a difference in the lives of my community.
