WATCH THE PRESENTATION
This session is not therapy, but an opportunity to learn from two experienced Clinical Counsellors and explore different approaches – whether you’re looking for ways to talk to children about what’s happened or hoping for ideas to manage feelings of worry or overwhelm. Our hope is that even one helpful suggestion can make a difference.
