Supporting Families
The Northern Centre understands the pressures, hurdles and stresses that many families encounter and we can support you and your family with a whole range of different services.
Our Family Support Team delivers flexible support to families experiencing or at risk of vulnerability.
The Community and Family Support (CAFS) program is funded by DCJ (Department of Communities & Justice),
From setting boundaries and expectations with your children to guidance and support around managing family dynamics, we offer individual support to build your confidence and parenting skills to assist you through a number of approaches, including personalised case management, counselling, parenting programs or supported playgroups. The length of time with us will depend on the complexity of your issue. To tailor the best service for you and your family, please call and ask for our Intake Coordinator.
