Child Protection Counselling Service

Listen

The Child Protection Counselling Services (CPCS) work with children and young people (up to age 18 years) and their families/carers where physical and/or emotional abuse, neglect and domestic violence have occurred.

Child protection counsellors provide child-focused and trauma informed services using a family systems approach.

Trauma resolution involves only making sense of the traumatic events, but also helping a child learn to regulate their emotions, working with the family to establish a safe environment, and enhancing the child’s resiliency and social supports (Cooks et al. 2003).

CPCS is a voluntary service. Parents and carers must consent for the referral to be made and be willing to be involved in the counselling process.
