Environmental modifications

Developing new skills or leveraging on existing ones

Positive reinforcement

Structured routines

Supportive relationships

By utilising Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy (PACE) in our Trauma-Recovery Models, we provide humanised support for children and young adults overcoming trauma-related challenges. Also, we create structured transition plans that can contribute towards a smoother transition from hospital to home.

We help people engage in meaningful activities by using proactive strategies and evidence-based approaches that contribute to improved health outcomes.

We Can Make a Difference Together

Our therapy team is focused on developing people’s capabilities to be as independent as possible in their everyday activities.

We believe that therapy combined with the right approach can make a significant difference in building peoples’ confidence and competence.

Unique Community Services therapy team is dedicated to finding the right tailored practices and approaches that work best for every person individually.

We believe that our work doesn’t end with assessing the level of help a person needs to achieve their goals. We know that this is only the beginning of a beautiful journey focused on building strong bonds, open communication channels, and trust so people can feel comfortable relying on our therapy team to have their best interests in mind.
