DONUT Sessions

DONUT Sessions is a time limited case work model designed to explore important areas of a young person’s life, one-to-one. All of these areas directly relate to being able to handle life, school and relationships effectively.

This model is currently in schools and youth organisations.

The Northern Services programs and services are supported by the Department of Families and Communities, Community Benefit SA, Office for Youth and donations from community sectors.

Street Team

The benefits of becoming involved are:
