Job Purpose/Summary:
To provide 1-2-1 and group interventions for children who require extra support with: Understanding and managing strong emotions, processing traumatic events, attachment difficulties, anxiety, self-esteem, family relationships, to name just a few. Our approach is trauma informed and works with the understanding that behaviours and emotions, especially difficult ones, are often an understandable response to a challenging situation.

The project supports children and young people to not only understand their emotions but to regulate them.
