Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked young people & their families since the beginning of my career & I am passionate about supporting this age group. I recognise the importance of working within an MDT framework, using trauma informed practice & working closely with families and significant others. For me, adolescence is such an important time for mental health support because it is the last opportunity before adulthood for creating change pathways. I believe it is vital to utilise the brain elasticity of adolesence (whenever possible) to give young people the best start to adulthood they can have.

Ruth Schmidt Neven Phd
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Child and adolescent issues are always best understood in the context of parental and family relationships as the behaviour however annoying is a form of communication on the part of the child or adolescent. For this reason, it is important for both parents to be actively involved in the assessment and treatment process. This helps to empower them to manage difficulties as they arise in the future.
