About Us
What We Believe
Disce (pronounced ‘disc’) comes from the Latin word “to learn”. We believe that people can learn to be more emotionally resilient and learn to have a resilient mindset to navigate through life’s challenges, and live more enriching lives.
Our Approach
We provide care and support to people from all walks of life, and assist with a range of life issues. We are empathic, compassionate and engaging, and our service delivery is based on the latest research and industry best practice.
