Specialist Psychological Assessments for Children and Families Following Trauma or Loss
Our Expertise
Led by Dr. Kirsten Krawczyk and Dr. Janet Menna, our team brings extensive experience in child and educational psychology. We understand the profound impact that traumatic events can have on a child’s emotional, cognitive, and social development.
Our psychologists are committed to and well experienced in engaging with the most hard to engage children, young people and families. Through our assessment we identify the ways in which their lived experiences impact them, providing a clear understanding of each child’s unique needs.
Our Approach
We adopt a holistic, person-centered approach to assessment, considering the biological, psychological, and social factors influencing a child’s well-being.
Our process includes:
- Video and Home Based In-Depth Interviews: Engaging with children, families, and relevant professionals to gather comprehensive background information.
- Standardised Assessments: Utilising evidence-based tools to evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioural functioning.
- Collaborative Analysis: Working closely with case managers, legal representatives, and other stakeholders to ensure assessments inform practical support plans.
