What to Expect When You Seek Help

Initial Conversation

  • A professional will listen to your concerns
  • You’ll be asked about your child’s behaviour and wellbeing

Assessment

  • Your child may be assessed by a trained professional
  • This helps identify the right type of support

Next Steps

Depending on the situation:

  • Advice and guidance may be provided
  • Support services may begin
  • A referral to specialist care may be made

👉 You will be involved in decisions about your child’s care.

Possible Outcomes

Support may help your child to:

  • Feel more understood and supported

For some children, support may be short‑term.
For others, it may involve ongoing care.
