Range of Services

The Child and Adolescent Psychology Clinic is proficient in a range of child, adolescent and associated family problems. These include:

Aussie Optimism group programs

Each year, we run a range of Aussie Optimism child and concurrent parent groups. Each group runs for 10 weeks, with participants needing to attend a prior intake assessment at our Clinic. The following groups are available, pending sufficient referrals:

  • Feeling and Friends Group (5-8 year olds)
    This 10-week group focuses on identifying feelings and forming good relationships. The program assists children to manage strong feelings, cope with challenging situations, and be friendly with others.
  • Positive Thinking Skills Group (8-10 year olds)
    This 10-week group focuses on emotional competence, and cognitive skills. The program assists children to identify their feelings and thoughts, to learn strategies to cope with fears, and teaches them how to relax and think rationally about situations.
  • Social Life Skills Group (10-12 year olds)
    This 10 week group program teaches children how to regulate their feelings, communicate effectively and solve interpersonal problems. Activities develop the child’s confidence to use skills in a variety of contexts, including resisting peer pressure.
