They are using CBT techniques as well as their own activity sheets, to offer a positive and safe space to allow people to talk through their problems. This allows victims to talk openly about the abuse they have suffered whilst supporting the family of those affected too. They are able to offer this online and face-to-face.
Wellbeing is predominantly carried out using talking therapy. However, they use their play therapy room to support young children or children who are struggling to communicate.
