Programmes

META provides programs through schools for Children, Teachers and Parents :

Children

META recognises that there are times in a child’s life when things are tough and they need extra support. These times can be connected to transition or times of change, friendship difficulties, changes in their home or school life and the whole process of growing into that wonderful young adult they have the potential to be.In order to support these children at these times META providesShine Time. This is a one on one therapeutic session for children in their schools with a trained therapist.  The sessions are scheduled for once weekly for up to 30 weeks in the academic year. META also recognises that in order to provide the most effective support for children, the adults in their lives need the opportunity to be well supported too.
