Common questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions we receive about our Family Mental Health Support Service.
Are there any costs or out of pocket fees?
No, there are no costs to participate.
How many sessions do I have to attend?
There are six initial sessions you can attend with your child. If your child or young person requires long term support, of more than six sessions, you’ll be required to participate in an additional consultation with us. We call this process Family Action Planning. It’s a requirement from our funding body that we complete this process with you and your child.
Do I have to attend all the sessions?
Your participation is voluntary and you can stop attending at any time. We generally work with families for up to six months or until their goals are met. If you wish to stop earlier, please let your case manager know. If you miss three visits, or we can’t contact you after three attempts, we will close your case.
Can I re-engage in the future?
Yes, you are always welcome to re-engage by contacting the team when you are ready.
