Rosebank offers counselling, group work, advocacy and support and works closely with other services to aid the wellbeing of Sydney’s children, young people and the families who love them. We actively work to raise awareness about child sexual abuse and the vision of a community free of harm.

We work with children under 10 who display problematic and harmful sexual behaviours. Counsellors support families to set boundaries and build safety by understanding the behaviour and strengthening attachments.

Safe and Secure Always

A child or young person should feel safe and secure before they begin counselling – that’s the most important foundation for therapeutic work. It’s only then that they can start to heal through therapy.

We work closely with other services including schools,  surrounding families to ensure we all work together. This brings  consistency and reduces confusion. For example, if a young person does not feel safe at school, Rosebank can advocate with them and develop a plan with the school to help them engage in their learning again.

Family members and carers are so important for the healing but they often feel out of their depth and need reassurance. We work with non-offending family members and carers to build the skills and confidence to provide a safe, supportive home.
