Forming Connections

Forming Connections is committed to improving the wellbeing and life chances of children who are facing challenges in traditional school settings. Our mission is to provide tailored support for both the child and their primary caregiver(s), helping them navigate difficult times, especially in the early stages of school disengagement. We offer ongoing support, ensuring that families have the help they need when it's most needed.

For Children – We take a personalised, solution-focused approach to help children re-engage with learning, whether it's returning to a school setting or elective home education. Support can be provided with or without the involvement of a trusted adult, and we offer flexibility in communication—whether through cameras on/off, voice, text, or AAC.

For Parents/Carers – We offer both emotional and practical support, helping parents and caregivers during the early stages of school refusal, avoidance, or burnout. Our approach is rooted in solution-focused, trauma-informed, and neuroscience-based strategies to ensure lasting, positive outcomes.

For Teachers – We provide supervision-style sessions to support educators’ wellbeing and equip them with strategies to better assist students who may be struggling to access learning in the classroom

At Forming Connections, we believe in a holistic, collaborative approach to helping children and families thrive, no matter the circumstances.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

At Forming Connections, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives and well-being of individuals and their caregivers who have experienced an acquired brain injury.

Through a compassionate, personalised, and solution-focused approach, based in Neuroscience, we provide support to brain injury survivors and their families as they navigate the life-altering challenges they face. Our goal is to help them create a new sense of normal, rooted in hope, love, and resilience.
