Happy Holidays 🎄

Exciting to be at the Regina Pats Hockey 📣 preseason game last week.

The donation of tickets 🎫 by the Pats allowed this young fan to attend.

We appreciate your generosity! 👏

TRiP kids toured the Police Headquarters 🚨 in July 2025.

They learned about:

- All the tools that an officer has and why they carry them.

-Met members of the SWAT team and saw the inside of the armoured vehicle. The tires alone were almost as tall as some of our youth!

- Ended our tour with meeting Police Service Dog Buster 🐕‍🦺 and his handler. PSD Buster was just as excited to see the kids as they were to see him! His handler demonstrated how he and PSD Buster communicate and work together.

TRiP, along with other community agencies and services providers participated in the Community Engagement Night at Walker Elementary School.

We shared bannock together and enjoyed the sounds of a drummer who sang an opening song.  What a great opportunity!

Matt’s Background

– @ age 6 Matthew was physically violent @ school – kicking, punching & damaging his classroom;
– family admitted they do not set or enforce good boundaries for him;
– had no friends;
– no social activities.

What were people trying to do?

– in a rare move by the school, the school Supt. wanted to look at a placement at the Ranch for him, parents did not agree;
– Matt’s parents were connected with 11UI through a referral. This helped bridge the gap/build relationships between the school & his family – – by having regular meetings between the school & family to work toward re-integration at school;
– Matt was in contact with the police 3 times after his involvement with 11UI, during the time when his behaviour & a course of action were being assessed;
– mom decided to homeschool Matt for a year;
– Matt desperately wanted to be back in school

11UI helped facilitate:

– successful re-integrated into school (consistently attending the last 2 yrs);
– a diagnosis from Child & Youth Services (formal ADHD and autism diagnosis);
– a connection to the Autism Centre, Special Olympics camps, programming @ the Y,
– obtaining a mentor.

Outcome:

– no police contact since being successfully reintegrated into school;
– met mom mid-September, she is thankful for 11UI – – doesn’t know where their family would be without the collaborative support;
– 11UI conducts regular case conferences to ensure supports & services are being offered & meeting Matt’s needs;
– 11UI has impacted the whole family (Matt’s parents & 2 brothers)

“It takes a village to raise a child” – this ancient African proverb symbolizes how I see the 11 UI program. I would like to acknowledge 11 UI as a huge part of my classroom community. My Jr. SLC – Structured Learning Classroom has 8 students that engage in unhealthy behaviors within our school, their home, and community. By identifying my students early on in the school year, I was able to refer each student and their family to the 11 UI program. The referral process was a great door to open communication with each family to help support the social, emotional, and behavioral balance to their lives. 7 out of 8 students and their families have joined 11 UI. Throughout the school year we have had team meetings with each family attending to discuss their child’s needs academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Through each meeting families have opened up to accepting the 11 UI’s generous support. Which I honestly believe has helped my students and their families enjoy outings together that they may not have done without the support of the 11 UI program.

Thank you to 11 UI and all their partners for their insight towards my students and their families. Each family has been recognized for doing their best with what they have. Your support has made a change in their lives.

“11UI has been very supportive of our son. He went through a period of time when none of the kids in his class really wanted to be his friend and his social skills were disruptive.  Now, thanks to the support and programs provided, our son has a thriving social life. The counseling services provided have helped our son’s demeanor and he is able to participate in class.  He has discovered a strength in learning and because of this we have seen a vast improvement in his grades and in his desire to learn and do better. Recently 11UI was able to assist in enrolling my son in a sport he has wanted to play for some time, and he has taken great joy in being able to participate. This has also given him a sense of pride being a part of a team and having his family cheer him on. As summer approaches 11UI’s support will continue to help our family with day camps that will give me a much needed break (THANK-YOU!!!) and my son will be able to continue building his social skill set.  I’m thankful that 11UI has been there to support my family through the difficult times, and grateful that they continue to support us to ensure the good times keep coming.”
