Our social work practitioners are focussed on offering support across a broad spectrum of issues or challenges a person might encounter.
A social worker can help you on both a personal and social level to help improve your overall wellbeing.
Social workers possess high levels of compassion and empathy, as well as good listening and problem-solving skills. They will help you cope with problems in your everyday life by making recommendations and help you work towards positive outcomes.
A holistic perspective means you do not have to keep explaining your situation to a new professional. Areas in which we have experience and can assist in are:
Therapeutic intervention social skills and emotional regulation. This is an activity-based approach to support higher levels of focus and engagement.
Support the person with a disability and their family to make steps through significant change.

Supporting people, in particular younger people, facing addiction to a range of legal and illegal substances.
