Therapeutic Services:

This service offers support around bereavement, child therapy, relationships, addiction, depression and suicidal tendencies. Additional funding supports the delivery of this service.


Interagency work:

An additional aspect of the projects work is the effective interagency partnerships that enhance the services available to children and families within the community. The sharing of resources, skills and knowledge proves invaluable to families, prevents duplication of work and provides them with a much more cohesive approach when addressing their needs.
