Our Family Practitioner is here to walk alongside families through goal setting focused on: building capacity, strengthen families, navigation of systems.

Our program focuses on:

• Supporting positive parent–child relationships

• Assisting in developing safe and stable environments

• Encouraging education, employment, and family functioning for both child and parent

• Connecting families with referrals for additional therapeutic supports

• Developing and identifying natural networks

• Providing advocacy

Our approach is family-led, trauma-informed, and culturally safe, helping parents feel supported and empowered to create positive futures. This is offered through one-to-one services delivery with personalised case plans and goal setting.

We accept referrals from external agencies as well as individual referrals. Referral forms are available here and should be emailed through to: referrals@byfh.org.au. Otherwise, pop in to 38 Blackman Street and one of our staff can help you out!
