Strengthening Family Connections is funded by the Department of Child Safety, Seniors and Disability Services to work with children, young people (unborn to 18 years old) and their families on the Capricorn Coast who are in vulnerable situations.
It is hoped that by building upon strengths, resilience and capacity of families, that this will improve the wellbeing and safety of children.
