FAMILY SUPPORT
We believe families thrive when everyone is heard, supported, and understood. By involving families in the therapeutic journey — whether through therapy, education or individual support — we create the conditions for meaningful, lasting change.
At TRC, we recognise the vital role that families and close relationships play in navigating life’s challenges and supporting recovery. When one person is struggling, it can impact the whole family system — which is why we focus on working with families as a whole, especially when facing communication difficulties or when a loved one is experiencing mental health challenges.
Our Family Support services are grounded in empathy, collaboration and clinical expertise. We aim to strengthen connections, deepen understanding, and equip families with the tools they need to support one another.
We offer support across three key areas:
Family Therapy:
Our family therapy sessions offer a safe and structured space for families to come together, share their experiences, and work through patterns of communication that may be causing distress.
Whether your family is facing conflict, struggling to adapt to a mental health diagnosis, or simply feeling stuck in recurring cycles of misunderstanding, family therapy can help.
Through guided conversations, we support families to:
- Understand one another’s perspectives.
- Address underlying tensions or miscommunications.
- Develop healthier ways of relating to each other.
- Strengthen emotional bonds.
Psychoeducation:
Our psychoeducation sessions provide clear, practical information about mental health conditions, treatment options, and the emotional impact these experiences can have on the whole family. By enhancing knowledge and reducing fear or stigma, psychoeducation can help families feel more equipped and more united.
We aim to empower families with:
- A better understanding of diagnoses and symptoms.
- Realistic expectations for recovery.
- Awareness of helpful (and unhelpful) responses.
- Skills to manage stress and crisis situations.
Parent Support:
Our parent support services are here to walk alongside you — offering a space to reflect, ask questions, and build confidence in your parenting approach.
We work with parents and guardians to:
- Understand their child’s needs and behaviour.
- Develop effective communication and boundaries.
- Manage their own stress and emotions.
- Feel more connected and supported in their role.
