PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE MT ALEXANDER SHIRE

Children and Family Services

Families are important and we know that all parents want their children to have a fair go, but raising children is not always easy. It is reasonable for families to expect that help will be offered when things are difficult. When families can get help things can be better. At times when families need extra help (counselling and support), Children and Family Services (Cafs) might be able to assist. Cafs provide family and individual counselling and support, foster care placements for 0-14 year old children and advocacy while the family and Cafs staff work together towards finding solutions to family difficulties.

Recovery Focused Mental Health Services

Individual and group support, activities and socialising, and housing related rehabilitation and support for adults with mental health issues. Respite for carers and those with a mental illness is also available. Specialist programs for women and depression and anxiety, and young people with a mental illness are periodically available.

Financial Counselling

A service providing free and confidential information and support, particularly in relation to debt issues.
