Therapy Groups

The Child Development Clinic offer a range of evidence-based group therapy programs for children and adolescents which are run throughout school term and holidays. Groups are a great opportunity for your child to meet same-aged peers with similar challenges, and provide a unique opportunity for children to practice skills learnt in a safe and fun environment.

Program overview: The STOP.THINK.DO. program was developed by a clinical psychologist and is an Australian social skills program for children who have difficulties making and keeping friends. STOP.THINK.DO. develops emotional and social intelligence in children as they learn to understand and control their feelings at STOP, THINK about their options and likely consequences, and behave appropriately at DO. The program focusses on how to use these skills in social situations. The program will be facilitated by two experienced provisional psychologists under the supervision of a clinical psychologist.
