Targeted group work to develop resilience and reduce anxiety
Individualised one-to-one support for parents and carers which includes home visits and strategies
Advice, consultation meetings with the school, information giving and signposting useful information and resources
Screenings and reports for presenting neurodevelopmental difficulties. These may be assessed by Children’s and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) (See Element 2 below for further details)
'Very thorough service and very supportive of family and child's needs. Also the needs of the school in terms of behaviour displayed by the child.'
