Supportive family capacity-building is delivered directly to individual families with the goal of improving carer/child relationships, increasing parenting capacity and family connectedness, and improving the wellbeing and safety of family members. We work with families through home visits, advocacy, referrals, education and skill development to help parents achieve their desired outcomes. We work with a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach recognising that individuals are central in creating their own solutions whilst acknowledging that barriers may be in place due to previous experiences and current circumstances. Our focus is to define the changes the parent wants made and what is required to make these changes happen.
Delivery of Family Support is fully funded by NSW DCJ Community and Family Support Program.
