Strong Families, Strong Communities Peer Program

 

What we offer…

Strong Families, Strong Communities Peer Program offers a 12-weeks of peer-to-peer group support aimed to improve people’s wellbeing, create larger support networks, improve knowledge and better self-esteem and confidence. This is a step-down model that is aimed at building lasting community supports and connections around families. In addition, to the peer-to-peer group program clients will be supported with case planning and case management that is culturally responsive, providing strengths based and trauma-informed one on one support. This program is run with the Australian Centre for Social Innovation.  

​

Eligibility…

The service is for families with children aged birth to 18 years where child well-being or safety risk factors have been identified.  

The program is designed to better support families with medium-level risk factors before their challenges escalate. Families who have successfully addressed high-level risks and can confidently step down to a less intensive model of support will also be eligible.

Referrals to the program can come from Intensive Family Services (as a step-down support), as well as family, community and self-referrals.
