CATCH-point staff work as a team in all therapeutic and support programmes. Families will be involved with more than one therapist including one key therapist with whom to consult and direct any questions or concerns.

School Consultations

Information from observation and discussion with staff in school is included in the collaborative assessment of all school age children. However it is our experience that families and schools frequently want to build on this. Issues such as control, hypervigilance, dissociation, poor concentration and peer friendships, dramatically different behaviour patterns at school and at home, physical aggression alongside great charm (among many others) can seem very puzzling. Yet when seen in context they have a compelling, if flawed, logic to them. School Consulations allow us to introduce a different way of seeing a child in class, help frame strategies for responding to unacceptable behaviours, point out early indicators of stress and highlight ways schools can support children and families in therapy.
