We all vary greatly in our social needs and expectations, so relationships are hard work by default! It is common for people to seek help with family, friend, and intimate relationships. The assistance we provide may include individual, couple, or family based sessions with a counsellor or psychologist. For children and teenagers with limited social connections, we may recommend they join the 1Up! Gaming Group or enrol in our next Hero Training program.
