Other Services
WE OFFER vARIOUS ASSESSMENTS AND PROGRAMS
We are committed to providing the best possible outcomes for vulnerable families and individuals. Ours is a holistic approach that is underpinned by respect for others and a desire to understand their circumstances.
Complex Case Facilitation
We understand that 'care' or 'stakeholder' teams at times experience their own kind of fatigue when working with high levels of complexity and risk. We are able to facilitate decision making processes that are evidenced based (on the work of Eileen Munro) to not just guide more integrated service delivery but provide opportunity for reflective practice and re-alignment to core values.
Parenting Capacity Assessments
We undertake assessments as a stepped process including a number of sessions to develop an in-depth understanding of the parent/s in terms of parenting style, relational patterns, strengths, areas that need additional support and growth all of which is underpinned in developmental theory and evidence.
Specialised Parenting Programs
These are run as one on one sessions and/or group sessions depending on the needs of the family and referring organisation. We offer attachment based parenting programs aimed at strengthening the attunement capacity of parents, develop strategies to reduce blocked parenting and bespoke interventions including brain-based interventions (neuroscience of caregiving Daniel Hughes and Jon Baylin). We also offer the highly acclaimed Circle of Security Parenting Programs on an individual and group basis.
Psych-Social Assessments
Our assessment process is attentive to the intersections of difficulty families may be experiencing with a high level of knowledge in areas such as domestic and family violence, sexual abuse, developmental trauma, mental health, substance use, and intergenerational trauma. We have a systemic framework that acknowledges the person in their context, identifies their strengths, opportunities to grow a solid safety and support network, development of safety plans where appropriate and all work is trauma and attachment informed with high levels of cultural sensitivity.
