NO MORE WEEK 2023


Domestic violence is being recognised as a major concern for children today. Witnessing physical as well as psychological–emotional violence within the family can cause serious detrimental effects to children.

It is imperative that these child witnesses receive interventions that are developmentally appropriate and meet their unique needs. Play therapy has been proven to be a statistically effective means of treating externalising and internalising problems in children.
