What to know!
Therapist facilitated groups designed to support children and teens where they are at now, and to provide opportunity to develop new skills
Group Therapy designed to help NDIS funding stretch that little bit further - especially in the current climate!
Children and Teens don't need to be current clients to attend - we're keen to hear from you if you think any of the groups might be a good fit for your child!
STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
If you still have questions, please reach out directly!
Question 1: How much are the groups?
The pricing of each group will be dependent on how many participants are signed up. Once we have confirmed numbers, we will be able to let you know a realistic figure.
We are expecting the pricing will be somewhere between $30 - $60 per group session (pending participant numbers)
Question 2: How many participants need to be enrolled for the group to run?
The minimum number of participants for each group to run will be 4 participants - we want to make sure the group has adequate numbers to achieve the goals of the group (especially if social based). We also want to keep the cost down to support families to best utilise NDIS funding (if relevant).
Question 3: Do parents need to attend?
For our Social Sprouts and Little Lifters, we do request parents stay closeby (either onsite or at the local cafe). For our older children/teens, we are open to children being dropped off/picked up with written parent consent.
Question 4: When does the group run?
The group will be running for the 10 weeks of term 4 - from Monday 12th October to Friday December 18th.
Question 5: Can I use my child/teen's NDIS plan to fund the group?
Families who are plan-managed or self-managed are able to use NDIS funding for the group.
About us
Our groups will run at our Lyneham Clinic
Whilst we do have clinics in both Phillip and Lyneham, we will only be running groups from our Lyneham location in term 4. We are hoping to start running social and strength groups Southside from next year!
