George entered the service seeking assistance with a family law matter. Once speaking with the family lawyer, a referral was made to the compass program to assist George to navigate supports for family violence and empower him to make decisions about the future of his relationship.
Upon starting to work with George, the client advocate was able help George identify some of the reasons that his relationship was breaking down. Using a narrative therapy approach, George was able to identify the impact his mental health condition was having on his relationship and take steps towards making some positive changes in an effort to save his marriage.
When George initially presented to the service, his legal options were limited as a decision to separate had not been made by either party. By working with our client advocate, George has been able to acknowledge his strengths and things he needs to work on; and is seeking help from a therapist to work on his relationship. George has reported to our advocate that he now has a better understanding of himself and how that has influenced his family dynamic.
The client advocate will continue to support George and provide the pathway to the family lawyer if and when that is needed.
