Promoting the safety and wellbeing of children, and caregivers who have experienced domestic and family violence by providing child-focused, trauma-informed support.

Providing early intervention for young pregnant and parenting women, their children and partners for women under the age of 26 (Brisbane) and under the age of 20 (Caboolture and Redcliffe).

YMYW is designed around a two-generational approach, meaning the focus is on both parents and children—working together to strengthen the whole family unit. Whether it’s pregnancy support, child health services, parenting education, or occasional care, the approach helps families access the resources and connections they need to break cycles of disadvantage and trauma.

Young fathers also pursued goals and gained skills through targeted support from a young father’s workers at Caboolture and Redcliffe.

An 18 month early intervention program based on Diane DePanfilis' evidence-based program.

Family Connections is in partnership with University of Queensland School of Social Work and Midwifery. Funded by Queensland Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety.
