Child-Centered Social Work Support in Geelong

Why is Social Work different at Kids+?

Social Work at Kids+ is child focused and family centered to support the needs of the child as well as the parent and caregiver. Social work can complement a child’s therapy team by working to identify and resolve complex barriers so that the focus can remain on the overall health and wellbeing of your family, assisting your child to reach their therapy goals.

Our NDIS funded Social Work services cover a wide range of supports tailored to your family's unique needs:

• Short-term counselling and wellbeing support — A safe, confidential space for children, siblings, and parents to explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and navigate the emotional journey of raising a child with a disability.

• Capacity building therapy — Targeted support to help your child develop their social and emotional skills in line with their therapy goals.

• Community navigation and referrals — Help understanding your child's NDIS plan, accessing carer supports and respite services, and connecting with community resources including housing support, family services, and financial assistance.

• Life transitions support — Guidance through key life changes to ensure your family feels informed and empowered at every stage.

Social Work at Kids+ can also link families with specialist services related to family violence, grief and loss, and cultural support — ensuring no family has to face these challenges alone.
