The READ Clinic was established over 25 years ago by child psychologist, author and media personality, Dr John Irvine, and his brother, Clinical Neuropsychologist, Warwick Irvine. Today the Clinic is the longest established and largest private psychology practice on the NSW Central Coast, providing a diverse range of services. As you will see when navigating through the website, the Clinic boasts many specialist clinicians, and hence offers a great variety of services, whilst maintaining a personal, professional approach. Conveniently located at 54 Hills Street Gosford we have warm and welcoming staff who will endeavour to assist you in any way possible.

GROUPS AT THE READ CLINIC

ANTI-BULLYING GROUP PROGRAMS AT THE READ CLINIC

One in six children in Australia's schools is regularly bullied. And the consequences can be devastating. There are plenty of studies that show that children who are bullied have low self esteem and are prone to depression. Children who are bullied are also more likely to refuse to go to school and their performance at school may also be affected. There's also evidence that bullies also suffer depression and are more likely themselves to be the victims of violence and agression.

The READ Clinic will be coordinating anti-bullying and resiliency group programs on an ongoing basis. Age ranges are high school aged children 11-15 years,

Groups are held after school on Wednesday 4-6pm or Saturday mornings 9-11am.
