For Parents: Are you and your teen struggling to get along? Do you feel like you just can't get through, that they just won't listen? Are you worried they are engaging in risky behaviour and could get themselves hurt? Is your relationship with them heading towards a breakdown? Feeling lost for ideas?

For Teens: Having problems with mum or dad? Are you sick of them telling you what to do, where to go, who to hang out with and when to get home.

While every person's situation is unique and each person may need a different solution to help them out, sometimes what is really needed is some help repair the relationship before a child is forced to leave home.

We can help you with:

  • Outreach, support & advice
  • Family meetings / mediation
  • Referrals to family counselling
  • Referrals to support services for mental health, drug & alcohol
  • Advice on different school and education options
  • And more...
