Connected Families Intensive Family Support
Our Connected Families Program supports families with children and/or young people up to 18 years of age who might be experiencing a range of challenges that are impacting the children and young people in the family in a variety of ways.
Much of the work is done in the family home to make it easier to stay connected. Our practitioners work in the following communities:
Greater Ipswich
Areas surrounding Goodna and Ipswich, Esk in the Somerset Region and Gatton in the Lockyer Valley.
Toowoomba & Greater Downs
Areas surrounding Toowoomba, Warwick, Goondiwindi and Yarraman, as well as Withcott below the Toowoomba range.
Families can self-refer to the program and can also be referred by others with the consent of the family (certain state government services can refer without consent).
Program activities
The program works with families to:
- Understand their specific situation and how they might best be supported
- Develop plans to overcome hurdles
- Reach their goals
- Provide information and link families to other supports for long-term wellbeing
