Families & schoolsPrivate Family & Child Intervention
A qualified, non-judgemental intervention service based in Cairo, supporting families across Egypt and the Gulf. We work with parents directly and alongside school teams.
Discreet, practical support with clear steps you can use at home. Read moreWhen school and home feel stuck
Families usually come to us after a long period of trying on their own — meetings, warnings from school, and arguments at home. We help everyone understand what is really happening and agree a plan that fits real life.
Working with young children
We support younger children who are struggling with behaviour, emotions or early learning. Work is always shared between parents and child.
- Frequent tantrums, difficult mornings and bedtimes
- Screen battles, sleep problems and unsettled routines
- Adjusting to nursery or primary school expectations
Working with teenagers and young adults
Older children receive private mentoring while parents stay informed. We look at school, home, friendships and health as one picture.
- School refusal, low effort, inconsistent attendance
- Late nights out, broken boundaries and conflict at home
- Low mood, anxiety, addictions and loss of trust
What you can book with Hikma
Some families need one conversation; others need months of close follow-up. We agree the right level together and review it as things change.
Family intervention service
Practical help when behaviour, learning or relationships are affecting family life. No diagnosis or report is required.
Family intervention detailsTraining for youth & family workers
Four hours of online training that change how you deal with children, teenagers and their families. Designed for people working in Egypt and the Gulf.
Training informationSupport for schools
Private, family-inclusive work that protects learning time. We take on the home side of behaviour, attendance and learning concerns and keep schools informed with consent.
Guide for school leadersSupport for schools, students & families
Many schools in our region do not have strong external services to lean on. We fill part of that gap, working with your counsellors, Inclusion staff and leadership.
- Academic guidance that looks beyond grades and labels
- Support for students with and without formal diagnoses
- Agreed behaviour and learning plans with parents and school
- After-hours meetings so families do not miss work or lessons
From Cairo to families across Egypt and the Gulf.
In-person where possible, and online for families in Egypt and Khaleeji communities.
Families we’ve worked with
“I have been working with Nebras Al Hikma for some time now. With steady follow-up and clear communication, they delivered the best for our family.”
Rahaf A · Parent · Dubai“We as a family will always be grateful. The support helped our daughter rebuild trust with us and with her teachers after a very difficult year.”
Ranya A · Jeddah“Private and helpful. The guidance around addiction and boundaries changed how we deal with our son at home.”
Zayed O · CairoWhat it looks like to work with Hikma
No slogans, no promises to fix everything at once. We listen, agree priorities with you and the school, and then walk with you step by step.
Listen and map the situation
We hear from parents, the young person and key people at school. Together we build a clear picture of what is happening now.
Agree a realistic plan
We choose one or two main goals and simple actions at home and in school. Everyone knows what they are doing for the next few weeks.
Review and adjust
We meet again, see what has changed, and adjust the plan. The aim is steady progress, not perfection.
Real cases & honest answers
Short, anonymous examples of the kinds of situations parents and schools bring to us.
My 15-year-old daughter scares me now
Her grades dropped, her friends changed, and every conversation turned into a fight – her mum came to us exhausted and out of ideas.
Young man, 17 – drug overdose, Kuwait
After an overdose and a rushed hospital visit, the family needed a plan that went beyond panic and blame.
Our 11-year-old has been sent out of school again
He was bright but always “too much” for the classroom – we worked with school and home to give him a real chance.
Homework with our 8-year-old ends in tears every night
Every evening ended in tears over homework. We helped her parents change the pattern without giving up on standards.
My 6-year-old is starting to hate me
Adam’s behaviour worsened as arguments between his parents increased. Our work focused on giving him safety and clear routines.
Our 13-year-old daughter is the bully
Sophie started refusing school after months of quiet bullying. We worked with her, her family and the school to rebuild trust.
Is my husband being too hard on our 4-year-old?
His father didn’t see a problem with harsh discipline until nursery raised concerns. We shifted the focus to connection and consistency.
