Are You Concerned?
Jacob
Jacob is 3 years old and a lively, noisy little boy who loves the outdoors and messy play. His parents Lynn and Jason are becoming increasingly concerned about Jacob’s eating habits and his behaviour at mealtimes.
Freya
Freya is a sweet and clever eight year-old girl who loves to dance. She is very popular with all her friends. She lives with her mother Leean and her grandmother Amira. Since her parents separated a year ago, Amira has noticed that Freya worries a lot.
Josh
Josh is fifteen. He used to be a happy, carefree boy with a great sense of humour, always telling jokes. For at least six months he has been feeling that his life is out of control, and sometimes feels it is pointless.

Everlief through Lockdown 2
As Everlief is providing an essential service we will remain open.
Where zoom can be used this would be preferred but where less effective or not appropriate we are running its “covid-safe” clinic.
For those families attending Everlief we have temperature monitoring and hand washing on arrival, social distancing measures and top quality air purification. Face coverings can also be worn.
