The Safe, Empowered and Reconnected program provides support to children who have been affected by Domestic and Family Violence. The program includes free strengths-based coaching in therapeutic parenting practices for caregivers and counselling for their children, aged 0-12 years old.
Our trained counsellor works with children and the family to:
-
Promote attachment repair with parent/s, families and /or safe adults.
-
Create a safe space for the children to tell their stories.
-
Help children make sense of their experiences.
-
Identify their strengths, coping skills and abilities.
-
Assist with ongoing engagement at school.
To refer a child to the program, parents and carers will first need to speak with a counsellor. The counsellor will discuss the parent's and carers' concerns to determine suitability for the service.
Children ages 0-12 years old and their parent/s or caregiver.
This is a free service.
Face-Face sessions are available in Darwin at the Relationships Australia - NT office.
Outreach options are available for people in Darwin and Palmerston.
