Clients are generally ordered to this program through the Family Court.

The program also supports children and young people around building resilience and managing difficult emotions and allows children’s voices to be heard in dispute resolution and the development of parenting plans. Families are generally ordered to this program through the Family Court and can be referred by other services too.

Uniting Counselling for Individuals, Couples and Families - can help to prevent problems before they become too serious and reduce and resolve conflict in relationships. Counselling can help individuals, couples and families to enhance their quality of life by improving and strengthening relationships.
