"The online Group Therapy workshops allow our young programme participants to express themselves in a safe space while learning key skills like emotional regulation and self-reflection that will always guide them in life"
Amanda
Emerge Psychologist
"Our long-standing relationship with the Department of Probation and Child Care Services has allowed us to conduct sensitization and mental health skills workshops for state-appointed caregivers who take care of children under protective care. This work has a direct positive impact on the wellbeing of children under their care"
Ashani
Programme Head
"The Emerge under 18 programme curriculum is trauma-sensitive, and built with the survivors reintegration journey in mind. They will gain self-awareness, confidence, practical life skills and effective communication skills that they can apply as and after they leave state-run care"
