Mental Health Social Workers

For children’s mental health support, call Making Milestones

Are you worried about your child’s behaviour, or overall mental health? Do you need support with parenting or other family matters?

How We Can Help

Our friendly team of social workers is here to support your child and family. We listen carefully to understand your child’s experiences and the environment around them. This helps us address the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions.

This thorough understanding allows us to explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, forming the basis for a thoughtful and supportive approach. Our focus is on recognising how each aspect of a child’s life, from home and school to social settings, contributes to their overall well-being. By understanding these connections, we can help create practical strategies that provide a nurturing environment and build resilience.

Through our attentive and caring process, we work with you to develop a supportive plan that addresses your child’s needs while also involving the family in a collaborative journey toward positive growth.

Our Services

Assessments:

We start with a thorough bio-psychosocial assessment to learn about your child’s needs. We also offer specific assessments used for NDIS, such as ABAS and Vineland, to help pinpoint areas where support may be needed.

One-on-One Therapy:

We work closely with you and your child in one-on-one sessions. We also offer family therapy sessions when needed, using proven methods to support better outcomes.

Support for Emotional and Behavioural Challenges:

If your child is facing ongoing difficulties like anxiety, depression, or behavioural issues, we provide practical help. Our aim is to assist with emotional regulation and develop interpersonal skills.

Collaborative Approach:

We work together with schools, childcare centres, and other professionals, including clinical psychologists and speech pathologists. This team approach ensures that your child receives well-rounded support.

Funding Options

Our services are available through NDIS funding, private health, or self-funding. Clients with the right Medicare plan may also be eligible for Medicare benefits.

We are dedicated to providing compassionate and practical support for children and their families. Please feel free to contact us if you need help or further information.

Our Approach

We use a careful and considered approach in all our work. By focusing on each child’s unique needs, we aim to help them feel safe and supported. Our experienced practitioners work closely with you to develop clear, simple plans that assist in your child’s progress.

Our approach involves evidence-based practices and personalised care. We begin by listening closely to the experiences and challenges of each child, recognising that every young person is unique. Working together with parents and other professionals, we develop clear and practical strategies that nurture a child’s emotional and mental growth. This collaboration extends into schools and community settings, where we help create consistent support networks that benefit children in all aspects of their lives.
