Our services are delivered through Community Partnership Programs, School Partnership Programs and Training & Education Services.
Using the therapeutic benefits of art, music, drama and play, our Expressive Therapists support children towards restored socio-emotional health and wellbeing. Our Trauma-Informed Education Consultants work with whole school communities to build capacity of the caregivers within the school community towards recognising and responding to children living with and impacted by trauma. Our Trauma Consultants and Practice Coaches deliver high calibre training and education engagements that increase clients’ capacity and confidence to apply trauma informed principles to the wider community.
Our School Partnership Program combines our Expressive Therapy and Trauma-Informed Education Services to provide a holistic mental health support program that fosters positive and nurturing school environments where students and staff thrive.
