About Us
We're passionate about one thing... Your wellbeing
At Betta Days, we use evidence-based practices, alongside creative and innovative methods, to provide individualised support for children, young people and their families.


Our Story
We have over 20 years’ experience working within community to support children, young people and families:
- Primary and secondary teacher
- Child Protection and Out Of Home Care case manager with Department of Communities and Justice.
- Case manager with non-government organisation supporting families
- Community engagement Coordinator supporting a newly arrived refugee community.
Community and families are the foundation that children and young people rely on to thrive. Through listening and working closely with families it was clear we need evidence based and creative solutions to create positive change.
Our mission is to provide services needed by our children, young people and their families, delivered through trauma therapy, social stories and social support.
