Kids ReSync

Kids Resync is a Youth Alive Trust programme which provides a wrap-around of therapeutic interventions based on evidence-based theory.

We work with primary aged children and their parents/caregivers. Currently it is funded through the Eliza White Trust for the support of children who attend either New Brighton Catholic or St. James Aranui Schools. These schools are able to refer children who are not able to fully engage at school- this might be due to a variety of reasons e.g. struggling to manage big emotions, anxiety, grief, aggression, etc. The programme works holistically with the child and parent/caregiver with a view to understanding what is happening underneath the difficulties, behaviours and symptoms. This understanding will be used to create a personalised relational and play-based programme for each child.

This will include some or all of the following:
-Parent session where we seek to make sense of what is happening for the child.
-Play based counselling sessions for the child.
-Interactive play based sessions with parent and child.

We can also refer to other supports as necessary.
After your school has referred your child, Sandy will be in touch to make an appointment for you to come in to meet with her and to discuss a plan of support for you and your child.
