Family Services Programs

​

Our Family Services are for families in Blacktown, Penrith and Parramatta Local government Areas. We partner with families everyday to support better outcomes for children.

​

Family Services can offer:

 

• Counselling and support to assist in resolving family conflict and hardship.

• Social support for parents and children

• Supported Playgroups to foster and promote positive parent-child interaction, and improve parent/caregiver play skills and connection with their children

• Information and advice about child development and links to children’s services including kindergartens, child care and playgroups

• Individual and group-based support, education and skills development to help parents and carers raise happy, healthy kids

• Assistance for parents getting help from other services such as housing, Centrelink, disability services, adult health services and child health services

• Support and assistance to families to address the causes and harmful behaviours against children

• Information and links to other community groups and services as needed. 

• Appointments can be in your own home, our offices at Oakhurst, or another agreed place.

​

Our qualified and experienced staff work with families to identify their needs and develop goals to address those needs.
