About the Program

CatholicCare NT's Supporting Children after Separation Program (SCASP) is funded through Family Relationships services funding.

The program is aimed at supporting children and young people adjust to family separation by providing them with a safe space to express their feelings, build resilience, and strengthen their relationships with parents and caregivers.

In recognizing that separation can be a challenging and confusing time for children, the program aims to assist children by delivering age appropriate support that helps to understand and cope with changes in family structure; develop healthy ways to express emotions; strengthen self- esteem and confidence; and maintain positive and support relationships with both parents where possible.

About the Role

The role of the Counsellor is to provide high quality, responsive and culturally appropriate counselling services to support children during or after parental separation.

The counsellor’s role is to support and enhance children and young people’s wellbeing and mental health, including those experiencing family violence.

CatholicCare NT Counsellors provide a range of evidence based therapeutic interventions including family therapy, individual and groups counselling, support and information and referral. These interventions are primarily targeted to support critical family development and transition points including formation, extension, and separation.
