Embrace each challenge as a path to emotional growth.

Child and Family Interventions & Research Centre was established in 2012 with the objective of promoting the Family Empowerment Approach (FEA) as a foundation for understanding and addressing the behavioural, emotional, and mental health needs of children, adults, and parents.

We believe that all professional interventions should, whenever possible, place the family at the forefront as a long-term solution to child protection and the psychosocial wellbeing of children and parents.

In line with this perspective, the organisation envisions creating a therapeutic space where children, adults, and families accessing the service can regain control over their social and emotional wellbeing and begin to enjoy life again.

The Centre also aims to contribute to knowledge development and the creation of empowered professionals in mental health, child protection, counselling, and education, professionals who feel emotionally empowered, competent, confident, and passionate about the work they do.
