Who can use our services?

This programme offers intensive home-based support for families, using the underlying principle that constructive change can occur in the context of a trusting, non-judgemental relationship; which models alternative ways of dealing with potentially stressful situations; and offers support that is:

♦ intensive
♦ home-based
♦ skilled
♦ practical
♦ personal

The philosophy is based on a commitment to empower families by developing their strengths, and assisting them wherever possible to remain intact and become increasingly functional. Alternative care for children should only be used when all other family efforts have been exhausted.
