Another two counselling rooms have been prepared for the increase in demand for our counselling and play therapy activities

~

The Corner House Counselling Service has seen a tremendous increase in those seeking help which reflects the increase in domestic abuse compiaints advised by the West Midlands Police. The Children's Play Therapy Section has also seen an increase in referrals and a need to provide family support as there has been an increase in mental health issues since the pandemic

We have continued with our other community activities Children’s and Youth groups, Parent and Toddlers groups, The over 50’s groups, Brew and Banter coffee momings and we are now making plans for some outdoor activities in the coming months.

We continue to support the local family centres and have been actively involved with playgroups, cradle clubs and best start clubs for new mothers and various outings for the children

Our working relationships with the local schools, family centres, children’s centres, health visitors, clinics, police, the Walsall housing group and social workers will continue and we will meet on a regular basis working together to support the families in our community. The local community police officers and local counsellors have been regular visitors to the centre to meet and support local residents.

We are continuing to secure funding for our future development and with your help | am confident that we can succeed with our ambitions for the centre. Again, thanks to all of you who have supported the Directors and the organisation during the past year.
