Child Psychology
The Child Psychology service is available for children with difficulties in the areas of behaviour, social/emotional and/or cognitive development. Types of referrals may include concerns about a child's aggressive behaviour, poor social skills, attentional difficulties, toileting, sleeping, problem solving abilities and concept development.
Can you use this service?
Services are available to children from birth to school entry (0-6 years) and their families, who work, live or study in the City of Whitehorse. We prioritise our services for people on low-medium incomes and holders of Health Care or Pension cards.
In addition, children can use these services if they:
- attend preschool or child care services within the City of Whitehorse
- have difficulties that are not complex / global / long term in nature but who would benefit from specific service (speech, OT or psych).
To join any of the groups offered for children as part of their care, all children must first be assessed by one of the health professionals within the Children’s team.
