Adolescence ​is the developmental milestone where individual identity is formed. It is the stage that offers young people an opportunity to learn through interaction that is vital for healthy development. 

We realise the importance of working with young people at such a pivotal time in their life. We aim to provide adolescents with therapeutic tools to strengthen self-worth and build resilience, self management and healthy functioning into adulthood.

At 4thought we are passionately driven to support young people through this challenging and often confusing stage of development. With many years of experience working with children, adolescents and families it is a privilege to be given an opportunity to observe young people grow into themselves with confidence, while appreciating all that they have to offer as individuals and a sense of belonging within their family and to the community.
