Raising the mental health of children, young people, and families 

Being a parent brings unique challenges. yourtown offers tailored, therapeutic support designed to meet your child where they’re at.

Programs are offered in welcoming settings for children and their parents/carers. Specialists develop programs and activities that respond to the needs of each child and their family. Some support options include:

  • individual therapy sessions for your child 
  • support for parents and carers (because you matter too) 
  • in-school or community-based sessions 
  • advocacy and referrals to get the right support for the whole family 
  • additional access to 24/7 phone + online counselling for extra support when you need it most.

“We celebrate families with a focus on respect and encouragement.” Tracy Adams, yourtown CEO
