Youth Programs & Services

The Family Co. Youth Services offer information, support and programs for young people, schools and families. Our experienced staff aim to support young people to strengthen and foster relationships and develop resilience and life skills. We offer a range of programs and services that help young people become self-aware, understand and explore their potential, and be present and connected in their community.

To empower young people, their families and communities, we’ve developed programs across a range of areas:

  • Support Groups and education programs that encourage confidence, emotional regulation, build resilience and strengthen family relationships.
  • School based Education Programs around key topics of healthy relationships, consent, sexual assault prevention and domestic & family violence awareness.
  • Parent education programs to help parents increase understanding of adolescence and equip them with practical skills and strategies to improve communication and strengthen their relationship with their child.
  • Youth & Family Case Management that provide emotional support, advocacy and information.
  • Community based activities and programs.

Through these services, we help young people and their families navigate issues such as:

  • Family relationships and conflict
  • Peer relationships and school difficulties
  • Family and/or Relationship Violence
  • Education and Employment
  • Accommodation
  • Legal Issues
  • Alcohol & other drug abuse/support
  • Mental health challenges
  • Sexual health & sexuality
  • Social skills and self-confidence.
