Counselling

Counselling is a wonderful tool to help young people move from the pain of the past towards a resilient future. Through this process, young people are provided with the message that we care through consistency, empathetic listening and providing opportunities to learn new and healthful skills that help them to manage well even when experiencing the inevitability of life’s challenges.

We thank all of our youth in community who have chosen us to support them with their counselling needs during this unprecedented time.

We have also provided a list of counselling resources in the community that youth are able to access for any acute counselling supports. These services are also free of charge and do not require a health card.
