Academy Group Program
(6 years - 8 years)
A group therapy program designed to help children reach their full potential
Sydney-based group therapy program
Through engaging, hands-on experiences, we help your child develop their emotional regulation skills and resilience, see challenges differently and feel greater confidence in themselves. They will also learn about teamwork and discover their own ability to help those around them.
Our innovative superhero themed group program will create opportunities for your child to build genuine friendships and gain a more holistic understanding of themselves as an individual.
The Academy Group Program Teaching Modules
Group therapy programs supporting children with additional needs across multiple developmental areas
Module 1
Resilience
The foundation upon which all other skills rest. Your child will be learning to manage their physiological responses, control their underlying thought patterns and utilise adaptive behaviours in response to challenging situations.
Module 2
Self-concept
Your child will be exploring, identifying and understanding their strengths. They will then learn to create a strong personal identity that is built around those strengths.
Module 3
Team-work
Your child will learn to seek out and embrace opportunities to use their strengths in group situations. More importantly, they will begin to learn why there is a need for them to use their abilities to help others.
Module 4
The Superhero mindset
It’s time for your child to unleash their abilities. Your child will be learning how their abilities can be used to help others in need. Through this process, they will understand that they can bring value to society.

The Academy is intended to be run as a small group therapy. We limit each Academy cohort to a maximum of 10 children supported by 3-4 trained facilitators. The small groups ensure each child gets individualised attention while also allowing for real-peer interactions.
