Counselling, Adolescent Mediation and Family Therapy for 10-21 years Resolve Program.

The Resolve program is for young people aged 10 to 21, who are looking for counselling, adolescent mediation and/or family therapy (AMFT). We provide a suite of services, including restorative justice and family and community group conferencing. We work with the young person and their family as an early-intervention support service, to help decrease family breakdowns and early school leaving.

We work in co-operation with any other supports that are in place already or needing to be. Resolve counsellors can see young people on site at Gateway Community Health (155 High Street Wodonga) or can outreach to schools, the family home, or anywhere else that is appropriate and comfortable.

Resolve deals with a range of issues young people can face including relationships, anger management, behavioural issues, self-esteem, risk-taking behaviours, self-harm, bullying, coping, grief and loss. We have extensive knowledge of other agencies and services that we can provide as referrals for young people to deal with issues that need specialised care, such as drug/alcohol, suicidality, mental health, alternative education programs, legal issues, and homelessness.

Children's Counselling
This is a confidential service. It provides counselling and support for children up to 10 years and their families in North East Victoria and the Border region. It exists because we recognise that children, like adults, experience difficulties from time to time that may affect their emotional health and wellbeing — and that children, just like adults, sometimes need someone to talk to.

We also recognise that access to a counselling service for children and their families is essential, as good mental health through childhood and adolescence often underpins mental health and wellbeing throughout later life.

The service is child-centred, and counselling is based on a developmental framework, acknowledging the specific needs and abilities of children at different stages. We give priority to the voices and needs of children, as well as recognising the importance of families, throughout the process.
