Reach Out for Support This Christmas

The festive season, while joyous for many, can bring unique challenges for families navigating financial and emotional pressures. For those in need, help is just a phone call away. Families experiencing difficulties with relationships, budgeting, housing, or other concerns are encouraged to contact Family and Child Connect at 13FAMILY (13 32 64) for advice and support.

This community-based service aims to keep children safe and families together by connecting them to the right resources at the right time. Whether you need guidance on managing child behaviour, building healthier family relationships, budgeting, or addressing housing and healthcare concerns, Family and Child Connect can help.

The service also works closely with families to determine the type and level of support needed, offering connections to more intensive programs if necessary, with domestic and family violence specialists also available for consultation.

In addition to phone support, Family and Child Connect can arrange face-to-face meetings at home or another safe location. Referrals can also be made online via https://familysupportreferral.org.au.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this support, don’t hesitate to reach out and contact 13FAMILY (13 32 64) to access help.
