We work with parents and carers directly, not only through the child. That includes managing challenging behaviour and escalation at home, adjusting to a new sibling, establishing sleep and toileting routines with infants, and working out what a recent diagnosis means for day-to-day family life. We also support families where a parent is living with mental illness, so the children's needs are held in view alongside the adult's. Sessions are available in clinic at North Lakes and online.
