Family Therapy
All families experience stress. But when difficulties seem too large to manage, it may be hard to know which way to turn. Family therapy can help.
Program Objective:
To help families make use of their strengths and resources and build on their coping strategies and skills in addressing problems and achieving their hopes and dreams.
Service Philosophy
We work with families and professionals to provide them with services tailored to their needs, the following beliefs guide our practise.
We believe that:
- Family struggles are embedded within social, economic, cultural and historical contexts
- Families’ strengths include their inner resources, values, cultural and spiritual traditions and community relationships
- All families experience times of stress and transitions and have the capacity to adapt and grow through them
