PARENTS & CARERS
ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING FAMILY CONNECTION, COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING
Parents and carers can often play a big role in supporting young people
through life’s challenges. Our professional counsellors are able to offer
guidance and strategies to help families create stronger support
structures at home.
If someone you know is struggling to cope or having a difficult time, please get in touch for a confidential discussion…
