Wesley Mission and homelessness
Homeless services
When a person slides into homelessness, almost every other problem in their life worsen - whether it's substance abuse, mental health problems, relationship breakdowns or problems with the law. Wesley Mission programs provide stability and security so people can begin to address the areas in their lives that have contributed to their homelessness.
Services include crisis accommodation for individuals, and accommodation for families, young people and the elderly. We also provide case management, drop-in programs, assistance with food and independent living programs.
Child and family services
Wesley’s Child and Family Services represent a cornerstone of our care. Our services are designed to increase a family’s ability to effectively deal with a range of problems through information on parenting, child development, local services and groups; supported playgroups, outreach services, early childhood resources including books and toys, transition to school programs and other group activities.
Foster care
Wesley Dalmar provides homes for children and young people who cannot live with their families by recruiting, training and supporting Foster Carers. Wesley Dalmar Foster Carers are mature, child focused and committed to providing a safe, secure and loving environment for the children or young people in their care.
Youth services
Wesley youth services help young people and their families cope with the urgent problems facing youth today - homelessness, alcohol and drugs, gambling and other life-controlling issues. By taking a compassionate approach and respecting the worth of each individual, we are turning young lives around.
We do this by offering counselling, case management, group activities, drop-in centres, training, referrals and information.
Counselling
Wesley Mission’s counselling is far-reaching, helping individuals and families cope in a myriad of ways. We provide face-to-face and crisis telephone counselling for depression, eating disorders, abuse, alcoholism and drugs, anger, gambling, financial problems, grief and loss, suicidal behaviour and domestic violence.
