Our Story

Established in 1956, The Bouverie Centre has developed to become an integrated practice-research centre offering clinical therapy services to families, workforce and capability development training and support to professionals, and postgraduate programs to students. We believe healthy relationships lie at the heart of social and emotional health. They create opportunity to develop well, shape our ability to care for ourselves and others, and to manage challenging times. Our research aims to understand how relationships and circumstances affect these abilities at all stages in life, in all cultures, for all people. We create meaningful research findings through collaborative work, and translate them in ways that make a real and positive difference to the wellbeing of families, communities and organisations.
