    What we do

     

    Early Intervention programs are designed to support children, young people, families, and communities, specifically:  

    • Parents and carers with children aged 0–12 years seeking to strengthen relationships with their children. 
    • Families who feel isolated, under-resourced, or need extra support. 
    • Families aiming to enhance parenting skills and confidence. 

    Our support services

    We offer flexible, tailored support to meet the unique needs of families, including one-on-one assistance and group programs. Many parents need help to overcome complex issues related to their child or their own mental and physical health, financial instability and unemployment.
