For families
Support for families and carers
Caring for a child or young person with disability, additional needs or complex life circumstances can involve many different services, expectations and decisions. Dr Carol provides a calm, strengths-based space to help families clarify what matters, understand the conditions affecting participation and belonging, and prepare practical next steps with schools and support networks.
What family consultation can help with
Clarifying strengths, needs and priorities
Preparing for school, provider or planning meetings
Improving communication across the support network
Supporting participation, routines, relationships and inclusion
Planning for change, transition and future opportunity
Developing a shared six-month focus with practical next steps
The Human Flourishing Profile™
The Profile is a warm, structured process that maps your child's strengths, relationships, and environment across the eight elements of the Schultz Human Flourishing Model™. It’s not a diagnosis or a clinical test — it’s a way of understanding what your child needs to participate, belong, and flourish.
Dr Carol takes the time to listen, understand your family’s story, and create a clear, practical plan together with you.

A relaxed initial conversation to understand your family’s context and goals
Strengths and element mapping across the eight interconnected elements

A Six-Month Flourishing Plan™ with clear, achievable next steps

Choosing the right level of support
Every family is different. Dr Carol can talk with you about whether a focused conversation, a Human Flourishing Profile™ or the full Guided Flourishing Pathway™ is likely to be the best fit for your family right now.
When you get in touch, Dr Carol will talk through the options with you and help you choose the level of support that makes the most sense for your family at this time.
