Family Therapy Teaching Clinic

Referrals and inquiries are currently welcome for our Family Therapy Teaching Clinic. Each year, our team of experienced Senior Family Therapists provide eligible Victorian families access to our Family Therapy Teaching Clinic. This clinic runs within the Centre’s Master of Clinical Family Therapy program. This is designated for families impacted by mild to moderate mental health difficulties. Suitability for this clinic will require a brief assessment with our Family Care Coordinator Service.

These family sessions, with an experienced Senior Family Therapist, also present a unique opportunity for families to receive support from a skilled reflecting team, which consists of a senior Family Therapist working with a small group of advanced trainees. These trainees are already qualified psychologists, social workers, counsellors, and family support workers, undertaking the second or third year of  a Master’s degree in Systemic Family Therapy at the La Trobe University. Many families who have attended this clinic frequently express that the work of the reflecting team was the most impactful aspect of their therapeutic journey, with some families requesting to return to the clinic in subsequent years.
