Mental Health Interventions

Types of Mental Health Interventions

1. Autism Specific Counselling

• Intervention with a variety of therapeutic techniques (e.g. mind mapping, cognitive behavioural skills, educational discussions and talking therapy) in conjunction with various communication techniques to pinpoint any issues and create coping mechanisms for social interaction and daily life. It also helps the individual with Autism and other developmental issues to cope with mental health problems and self-acceptance. 

2. Autism Therapy

• Intervention with various therapy techniques that helps an individual with developmental issues like Autism, to develop their skills holistically along with their mental health. These techniques include play therapy, speech therapy, Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), floor time activities, Relationship Development Intervention (RDI), Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for aggressive behaviours etc. 

3. Developmental Therapy

• Early intervention on how a child is growing in all domains of development, such as self-help, social-emotional, language and communication, cognitive, and motor skills.

4. Child Counselling

• Psychological intervention which specialises in helping toddlers, school aged children and even adolescents, to overcome their social, emotional, psychological and behavioural problems during their development. This intervention focuses mainly on the population of children only as children are more prone to mental health issues and stress from an unhealthy environment during growth at home and also at school.

5. Family Therapy

• Family Therapy is a type of group counselling and psychotherapy which focuses on the improvement of interfamilial relationships and behaviours. A family that has an autistic children is more prone to face interpersonal conflicts on raising the child and helping in their growth. Having a non-autistic child too affects the family and interpersonal relationships if the child is having behavioural problems. Not having a child too can contribute to interfamilial issues. Thus, family therapy focuses on building and strengthening healthier relationships among one another, which provides a better environment for all, especially for the children to grow holistically. 

6. Parental Counselling

• Parental counselling is a service that aims to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance and support to parents without bias or judgement. In this way, they become more fully equipped to take care of their children. 

7. Mental Health Support for Teachers 

• Mental health and wellbeing of teachers are just as important as that of children and students. Continuous efforts and change of techniques to provide the best education and teachings to the students, makes educators become mentally exhausted pretty quickly. Our mental health support at AuesomeKids aims to help educators to regulate their work stress and mental health so that they can continue to contribute towards the children's growth and take care of themselves as an individual. 

8. Training to Care for Autistic Children

• This training is Autism Specified, and that being said, it focuses mainly on training educators and carers of autistic individuals, so that they can play their part effectively in that individual's growth. Being a teacher or a carer for autistic individuals can be really challenging if one doesn't have the right knowledge of techniques and resources on how to actually help in the individual's growth. AuesomeKids provides complete training on how to actively and effectively raise and develop autistic individuals. 

9. Intrapersonal Conflict Intervention

• Intrapersonal Issues refer to internal conflicts with which an individual constantly battles with, such as depression, anxiety, stress, panic, self acceptances, motivation, interest and many more. Here at AuesomeKids, our trained Counselling Psychologists will provide Guidance, Counselling and Psychotherapy (G.C.P) in all types of approaches such as psychological, cognitive, behavioural, spirituality, developmental etc. 

10. Interpersonal Conflict Intervention 

• Interpersonal conflicts refers to external conflicts that happen between two individuals or more. It can happen at school, at work, at home, in personal relationships or even in professional relationships. Interpersonal interventions aim to help individuals to overcome such issues so that it doesn't destruct their mental health and wellbeing, at the same time making sure that it doesn't affect the people involved (in the interpersonal conflict) and the surrounding. 

11. Developmental Intervention

• Everyone, regardless of age, gender, educational background, socioeconomic status and other demographic differences, goes through transition in every phase of life. Let it be the process of ageing, like when an adolescent goes through puberty or be the process of elevating, like starting to enter the workforce upon graduating higher studies. Such transitions take a major toll on the individual's mental health. Here in AuesomeKids, our Counselling Psychologists aim to provide the right resources to individuals who need support and guidance in their transition phases of life.
