Family Preservation Supports

Family preservation is based on the understanding that, where it is safe and appropriate, the best place for a child is with their family, surrounded by the people who know and love them.

Keeping families together is important for the safety, wellbeing and development of children. Strong family relationships, a sense of belonging and connection to family and community all play an important role in helping children feel secure and thrive. However, we recognise that families can experience challenging times that place pressure on relationships and their ability to provide a safe and stable home environment. These challenges can sometimes make it difficult for parents and carers to meet their children’s needs.

At CatholicCare, we work alongside families to strengthen relationships, address challenges and build the skills and confidence needed to create positive, lasting change. While there may be circumstances where intervention is necessary to protect children from abuse or neglect, wherever possible, we work with families to explore alternatives that allow them to stay together. Our focus is always on improving the safety and wellbeing of children while supporting families to remain connected.

We offer two dedicated programs to help families navigate difficult times, build on their strengths and create a safe, supportive environment where children can grow and thrive.
