Individual Work with Young people
Individual work with young people is centered around the child’s needs and the tension that sometimes emerges when those needs do not match the expectations of their environments. While we expect children and young people to perform, learn and thrive in educational, social and recreational settings, individual work clears an area for the young person to focus on their own emotional health, their own goals and experiences of the various spaces of their life . Sessions and work with young people included play-based approaches, the use of life space interventions, the use of evidence based in one on one sessions, activities and services.
Parent Coaching and Family Work
Family work is often needed to help develop and maintain supportive relationships to surround our young people so that they can maintain the work they have done in their individual sessions. Family work is also sometimes needed to help parents and caregivers discover their competency in loving and maintaining consistent and safe boundaries for their children and young people to grow within. Our approach is immersive. We believe that the real work is done in the moment, and so, we schedule ourselves to be with you during the snack and dinner routines. We understand that building a close, predictable therapeutic bond is the component that can act as a catalyst to change. In addition to coaching sessions, we model strategies, and read articles together to help garner your own inspiration and sense of mastery as a parent or caregiver.
Meeting Representation, Reporting Writing and Recommendations
From time to time, families that we work with require us to attend meetings with them, or on their behalf to help articulate the work that they’ve been engaged in. In order to access this service, we will have had to be working with you for at least 3 months, or as determined on a case by case basis. As part of the consultation packages we provide written reports to record services, recommendations and progress reports for your own use.
