Community Initiatives
A focus on giving back to our community is at the core of our business values. As such, we have several community initiatives run through the centre and by centre practitioners.
Pre School Social Skills – Playing and Learning to Socialise
The Playing and Learning to Socialise program run at the centre, is a 10 week program aimed at assisting children age 3-6 with acting out or withdrawn behaviours. Covering skills such as greeting others, sharing, understanding emotions and managing frustration, the program equips children with the social and emotional skills they need to make healthy peer relationships. As part of our community outreach, we offer the program to pre-schools in the area at no cost.
The program is run by Intern Psychologists on placement with the centre. They have had thorough training in the program and are supervised by the centres Principal Clinical Psychologist, Emma Spencer. If you are interested in having the program delivered at your pre-school please register your interest via the link provided.

Day – 3rd Friday of every month
Time – 6:30pm-9:30pm

Snacks and drinks are provided and the participants will have input into choosing which films they wish to have included in the program.
