Welcome to Bayside Adolescent Boarding Incorporated
Youth COUNSELLOR
Youth Counselling is one of the
services provided by the Youth and Community Program. The Youth Counsellor
provides counselling and mediation for young people (aged 10-22), who are in
need of generalist counselling, and for young people (aged 10 -17) who are at
risk of entering the juvenile justice system or who are already involved in the
youth justice system. Youth Counselling is available for young people and their
families living in the Wynnum/Redlands area. Counselling is provided 3 days per
week.
The counselling service uses a
collaborative, strength-based, client-centred framework that focuses on the
importance of the relationship with clients throughout the intervention to
address risk factors and encourage the young person’s fullest development.
Counselling
offers a safe, respectful and supportive place for people to talk and explore
their inner worlds. Counselling invites
people to contemplate areas of their lives.
During counselling people choose what they wish to talk about, a client
directs the conversation. Counsellors ask questions during a session but a
client may choose to answer or not to answer questions.
Counselling
is voluntary. People are informed that BABI counselling is voluntary and they
may choose not to attend at any time. There may be some circumstances where a
person is required to attend counselling as a condition of a legal
requirement. In these circumstances a
person has the right to choose another counselling service if BABI does not
suit their needs and they are also able to choose what they wish to discuss
during counselling.
