STRENGTHEN

We provide individualised social work sessions in a confidential and safe setting. These are tailored to support an individual's needs and promote their mental health and psychosocial well-being by, for example, improving positive coping strategies, building resilience and addressing circumstances that have a negative impact on an individual and their family such as toxic stress or substance misuse issues. We work with the individual to create a support plan that is appropriate for the person as well as refer individuals to specialised services where needed and requested.

Our Safe Space is a place where individuals can partake in activities and amenities in a physically and emotionally safe environment. In order to strengthen individuals’ MHPSS strategies, we offer the following services: confidential sessions with an experienced social worker, sewing machines, art supplies, games and puzzles, a 1500+ multilingual book library, hot drinks and outdoor space.

Our dedicated Children's Area is an opportunity for children to participate in learning-through-play activities with a trauma-informed approach. These activities support both the development of social skills as well as strategies for emotional regulation. Children have the opportunity to explore activities such as art, hide-and-seek, card games and dexterity-focused projects (such as gardening and crafts). We regularly introduce both structured and unstructured activities that are tailored to a specific children's age and learning development style, in order to meet needs of the child and requests of parents.
