Family and Relationships Counselling
Family and Relationships Counselling aims to support people as they reflect on what is important to them and work towards healthy and positive relationships in their life.
Current referral and enquiry response times:
We have a high volume of referrals currently – our response time to referrals and enquiries is approximately 6-8 weeks.
This program works with parent(s), guardians, children, step or grandchildren, and extended family members.
