Brighter Pathways

Centrecare’s Brighter Pathways service is a confidential counselling and support service for birth to 12 year olds who have experienced, or have been impacted by family and domestic violence, and are currently residing in the City of Swan area.

The Brighter Pathways service encourages children and their families to reach their full potential and can help them feel confident, happy and safe. This service can be provided in the community, your child’s school, or a private place which is a comfortable place to talk.

  • play therapy;
  • rebuilding secure attachment;
