Customized Support Tools & Training Opportunities
Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Community Members,
At Geddes Specialized Supports and Integrative Wellness, we’re passionate about offering practical, meaningful solutions to those supporting individuals with complex emotional, behavioural, and neurodevelopmental needs. We're excited to share our Geddes Customized Support Tool—a resource designed to bridge the gap between intention and action in care planning and delivery.
This person-centered tool has been carefully developed to give individuals a clear, structured way to express their needs—helping ensure they receive consistent and responsive support across settings like mental health care, addictions treatment, justice involvement, medical transitions, and hospitalization.
What Is the Geddes Customized Support Tool?
This resource is designed for:
Individuals with trauma histories and complex mental health challenges
Those affected by prenatal alcohol and substance exposure
People living with FASD, ADHD, ASD, and learning disabilities
The tool helps to identify overlooked needs, support consistent communication across providers, and reduce the risk of system breakdowns during transitions or crises.
Training Options to Support You
To ensure this tool is used effectively, Angela Geddes now offers customized training sessions—virtually or in-person—for a variety of audiences:
Agencies & Organizations: working in health, education, justice, child welfare, and social services
Clinicians & Front-Line Professionals: who want to integrate this tool into their existing practice
Caregivers, Volunteers & Families: seeking strategies and tools to support loved ones more effectively
Trainings include real-world examples, guidance on implementation, and case-based learning. We want you to walk away able to use this tool right away.
📚 Why This Matters
Too often, individuals with complex neurodevelopmental needs are misunderstood or underserved by systems that are not equipped to identify what’s truly going on. This tool and training package helps close those gaps—creating more responsive, compassionate, and coordinated care.
Angela brings decades of experience in FASD, trauma, and complex needs—and she continues to learn from the real experts: the individuals and families navigating these systems daily. This tool is one more way to honour their voices and stories.
We’re here to support you in offering the kind of care that truly makes a difference.
Warmly,
Angela, and our team.
