What are Drop-in Surgeries?
Drop-in surgeries are similar to therapeutic consultancy the difference being that whilst consultancy is a more regular arrangement, drop-in surgeries can be arranged as a ‘one-off’ consultation where adults supporting a child may feel particularly concerned, confused or ‘stuck’ with a child/young person and how best to support them going forward.
The drop-in surgeries can include multiple supportive adults supporting a child or young person and offers a clinical perspective about what might be going on, provide helpful strategies and recommendations for next steps.
The drop-ins are mostly always online in order for multiple adults to be able to attend.
Who can Access Drop-in Surgeries?
Professionals working in social care, residential care, foster care, therapy or counselling services, youth services or education, who want to reflect on their practice, understand a child/young person better and/or work towards finding therapeutic solutions to complex relationships and behaviours.
Parents and carers navigating challenging behaviours or relationship ruptures and would like a clearer understanding of what is going on under the surface and how to respond.
