At Safe Steps, we believe that children should never have to move through their therapy journey alone. When a child is carrying trauma or emotional overwhelm, the support offered to their parent or caregiver is equally as important as the work taking place in the therapy room.

​

Our co-working model - where one therapist supports the child while another supports the parent or caregiver - allows the child’s emotional world to be met with depth, while the adult receives therapeutic support that enhances their ability to attune to the child and respond effectively . This shared process ensures that no child is left to navigate their healing in isolation.

​

Many families, however, cannot afford the additional cost of parent support sessions, even though this work is often essential for a child’s progress. For this reason, we are raising funds specifically to subsidise the co-working model and the therapeutic support provided to caregivers.

​

Your donation helps us offer the level of relational and nervous-system support that truly changes outcomes for children. It enables us to provide ongoing help to caregivers when a child has a significant trauma history, and to offer short blocks of work to parents who simply need guidance during their child’s therapeutic journey.
