Therapeutic Care
Therapy, also called psychotherapy or counselling, is an essential tool to support a child's well-being. It is a collaborative process to aid healing and learning constructive ways of navigating challenges that accompany mental health disorders. Moreover, it provides necessary insights for caregivers, teachers and other family members who are a part of the child's immediate environment.
