Lives Lived Well - Southport (Lighthouse)

Our Lighthouse service aims to support a young person and their family / carers/ kin to better understand and manage the impacts of distressing life experiences. The service provides specialised treatment, including individual and/or group sessions, with a focus on empowering recovery and building resilience.

Lighthouse may be for you if you are aged 12-18, live on the Gold Coast, have had difficult experiences in your past and now find that you …

• avoid certain places or people
• find it hard to trust others or have difficulties with close relationships
• are not enjoying life or finding life difficult 
• feel hopeless, numb, angry, nervous and/or jumpy
• have trouble controlling emotions
• have problems sleeping
• have difficulty concentrating or remembering 
• have unexplained headaches, stomach aches, dizziness and chest pains
• have flashbacks and/or recurrent memories.

We are here for as long as you need us, though the program is developed to run over 18 months and is broken up into three-monthly stages.
