*** PLEASE NOTE THE CHOICES FOR CHANGE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW REFERRALS ***

Choices for Change is a friendly, approachable, professional service for families who would like to communicate more and work better together to set themselves goals they can achieve. We are highly trained, experienced professionals with a passion for working with families to find their strengths and solve their own problems.

If you are or have been partners and you feel you have experienced or participated in behaviour which could be controlling financially, physically or emotionally or threatening in any way, we could help you.

We could help your family work out how to improve communication and move forward in your lives, whether you choose to do that together or apart. When working with Choices for Change you define who and what family means for you.
