Counselling for Children and Families

Child and Family Counselling Services aim to increase child and family functioning and well-being.

Psychologists and Social Workers provide a range of services that address cognitive, emotional and psychological issues or risks that impact on children or families. Services offered may vary slightly from site to site but generally include:

assessment
counselling/therapy
referral
health education and promotion
educational and therapeutic group work, and
consultancy services.

Child and Family Counselling services work collaboratively with other health and welfare services and participate actively in the Families First initiative, which is a whole of government approach to improving outcomes for children and families.
