Social work can play an important role in supporting children and families. Our team will help you along your journey of raising a child with a disability.
This might include connecting you with a service in the community or at TVCC. It could be helping you find possible funding or it could be brief counselling sessions. Service is provided in person, virtually, by telephone, in the community, at TVCC, or at your home.
Access to Services
