Sometimes life can be challenging and people can often benefit from suppo

- Adjustment difficulties (e.g. emotional concerns relating to difficult events such as relationship breakdown and parental separation)
- Child and Adolescent social-emotional-behavioural concerns (e.g. oppositional or aggressive behaviour, self-harming behaviour, social difficulties, excessive risk-taking, attention problems and hyperactivity)
- Caregiving concerns (e.g knowing how best to support your child or young person)
- Family concerns (e.g. difficulties within the family dynamic such as struggling with the transition to adolescence)
