Adolescents and teens share a common desire and that is to be heard and loved unconditionally.

The Angel House Australia Peer Development Program is a person centred program consisting of a one-hour session each week for a duration of 12 weeks.  This program aims to resolve behavioural challenges, patterns or issues by using a structured approach in working towards attaining a specific outcome or goal.  No two people are the same and therefore we approach one challenge at a time.  Parents and care givers need to allow for extended time to this program where numerous issues or challenges may require to be addressed.

This program is presented by Mel Mardon, a registered provider with the NDIS in behaviour support, counsellor, cognitive behavioural therapist and life coach, who offers 25 years of working with children, adolescents, teens and adults.

The program includes:

• Social skills development and participation
• Confidence building (often by incorporating equine assisted psychotherapy)
• Restitution (learning to take ownership for behaviours)
• Self-acceptance and self-awareness
• Emotional development
• Effective communication skills
• Mindfulness development and training
