Each child is unique, we value children’s authentic personality, their interests and strengths, to tailor support to improve their wellbeing, confidence and sense of self.
We use an individualised approach to support children and teens to:
- Identify and develop their strengths and interests
- Develop strategies to improve their sense of wellbeing
- Build their sense of identity and self-worth
- Increase their awareness of existing and additional supports.
(Referrals are accepted from families and carers, early childhood centres, schools, health providers, and other community services).
How we can help – we offer:
- Individual therapeutic support sessions in schools and children’s centres
- Small group sessions supporting social and emotional development
- Community education such as tailored group sessions in schools and community centres, and parent and caregiver education.
We know that children and young people’s challenges can affect the entire family, and we can connect you with additional resources and information to strengthen your family’s wellbeing.
We respect all lifestyles, cultural backgrounds, perspectives and the lived experience of families.
