What issues do we work with?
If you’re working with, or responsible for, a child or young person who is having a challenging time — we can help.
We support young people who are struggling in school, having issues with their self-confidence and identity, or adapting to transitions within their lives such as changing family dynamics.
We have expertise in working with young people who need additional support to develop healthy relationships with others.
We also work with young people who have witnessed domestic abuse or may be exhibiting unhealthy behaviours in their relationships with parents, carers, siblings and friends.
One to One Support
Support can be provided around:
What is domestic abuse
Healthy and unhealthy relationships
Identifying emotions and developing positive coping strategies for these
Completing a safety plan
Exploring self-esteem and self confidence
Family life and family relationships
Change within families; such as divorce, a new home, or parental separation.
How we support
Support is facilitated using a wide range of activities, games and discussions, as suited to the child or young persons age, needs and learning style.
*Please note- Given our current waiting times, we want to ensure that children and young people can access support as quickly as possible. Therefore, at present all primary school children will initially be placed onto our Rspace Group waiting list, unless they have any additional needs or circumstances that would make it difficult for them to access a group. If this is the case, we would look at offering 1-2-1 support.
R – Space

Feelings
Family and relationships
Self esteem
Worries
Hopes and wishes
Anger
