Counselling for Children

The children who reside at Alpha House meet once a week with the children's counsellor to learn about abuse, talk about their story, and share their feelings.  Children who have witnessed or experienced any form of domestic violence deserve to be heard and understood.  They have their own hurts, concerns, fears, and needs that need to be discovered and met.  The children's counsellor hopes to begin the healing process with the child no matter what age they are.  A child will benefit from something as simple as a safe, interactive, stimulating environment to play in.  The topics and issues discussed vary with the age and developmental level of the child.
