Connect for Kids and Adolescents
Connect at York is private practice specialising in supporting social interactional, communication and interpersonal skills for children, adolescents and adults.
It’s tough being at school and feeling isolated or overlooked by your peers. Friendships offer support, protection, fun and growth and without having ‘your tribe’ around you, school can become a fairly miserable place.
Connect at York provides individualised support in the development of those critical skills that enable your child to make friends, maintain friendships and deal with those trickier interactions that can make school life challenging.
Kids and adolescents who can benefit from Connect at York include those:
who struggle in establishing and growing their friendships
who seem to misread social cues particularly those cues that can then lead to conflict
who are changing schools and would benefit from assistance in establishing new friendships and connections
who struggle in ‘getting the balance right’, either standing back or dominating their peer interactions
who have difficulties in conversation with others
who struggle to participate in group or team activities
who rely on aggressive or passive strategies in conflict situations with others
who are having difficulties facing tough social situations such as bullying, teasing and social isolation
who would benefit from assistance in making the transition from primary to secondary schooling
