Counseling Services for Children and Caregivers

Counselling services are available for children aged 6 – 12, as well as for their parents or guardians. Counselling for children often involve the use of play-based activities; activities may include stories, games, and sensory play. We know that asking for help or seeking someone to talk to can be difficult, but finding that help shouldn’t be.
