Organisations

We partner with leading organisations in supporting mental health needs for their constituents. We offer awareness sessions, team & individual sessions, and parenting support for neuro-diverse (and neuro-typical) families.

Psycho-education and Awareness Sessions

The first step towards breaking the stigma around mental health is education. Sessions focus on understanding mental health with adult dimensions, population traits and identifying the points at which mental health affects functioning. Large group formats help with understanding broader topics, while smaller groups (often conducted for senior management) may focus on specific questions or concerns affecting an organisation.

Team and Individual Interventions

Managers and teams often feel lost in working with a team member with mental health difficulties and may struggle to strike the balance between empathy and accountability. Supervisors may ask whether it is ok to give an extended deadline due to a mental health struggle, or should an employee with a difficulty be given extra time off to cope. Supervisors may find it challenging to explain this approach to team members who do not have these difficulties.

Our team interventions focus on

Building awareness, empathy and self awareness within a team.
Creating accountability structures which facilitate positive regard and outcomes.
Working with the individual in context of their struggles at work with coaching and pharmacological interventions if required (at the discretion of the employee).
Helping optimise and improve team and individual effectiveness.
Coaching supervisors to help them achieve performance goals while taking into account the limitations (and strengths) different mental health difficulties bring.

Parenting Support for Neurodiverse and Neurotypical Families.

A family with a neuro-diverse child (diagnosed with a mental health difficulty) may experience above ordinary concern regarding their child’s present and future prospects, taking away from time and demanding a higher than anticipated emotional investment from parents. To support parents on their journey, we offer programmes offering individual, group and therapeutic interventions. Sessions focus on real struggles that parents are facing:

What is the long term prognosis of the difficulty my child has?
Are we following the right treatment? (or we don’t understand the treatment that has been prescribed).
Are the behavioural or psychological difficulties being adequately managed?
Am I skilled to support my child or how can I be more skilled?

Workshops for parents with neuro-typical children (not diagnosed with a mental health difficulty) typically focus on building regulation (screens, substances), understanding the long term impact of the pandemic on children, and effective parenting.

Parenting Under Special Circumstances

Parent Therapy

Parents often require therapeutic support and assistance. Parent therapy focuses on helping families build empathy for their child’s struggles, learning how to develop strategies to help their child cope, and better understand the role they need to play as parents.

Divorce Parenting

A divorce is a significant disruption in the life of all family members. Parents who are going through a divorce may be experiencing intense emotions and feelings of conflict, grief and anger among others, in many instances leaving children to navigate the uncertainty of a broken family and custody arrangements.

During this chaos we believe that empowered parents can play a significant role in helping their child/children survive this period of time and eventually flourish. As part of our services, we work with parents to help them understand the challenges of shared/ single parenting, learning to communicate with their child, and recognise early signs of the onset of a mental health difficulty.

Adoptive Parenting

Adopting a child can be the start of a wonderful journey in parenting. As parent/parents embark on this journey, it is helpful to have a view of understanding common adoptive parenting challenges and how to overcome them. Parent/s are made aware of common questions that adopted children ask and how to address them. We also help parent/s anticipate future challenges in parenting and prepare for them.
