WE ARE FAMILY FRIENDLY
At Get Smart we know how important whānau is and you are welcome to bring your family to your sessions. Sometimes people choose to have family come for just the first part of a session or they can stay throughout.
Its up to you, and you can talk to your counsellor about whether involving your whānau is right for you.
