The YFC Program has established strong community partnerships to assist young parents to enhance their parenting abilities.
As part of our support and family education program, the following partners play a vital role in delivering onsite face to face support by:
- Child and Baby Health Clinic – providing health services for babies and children to give them the best possible start in life
- YFC Mothers Group – celebrating and supporting young parents. Using a peer-mentoring model, our Peer Support Parents are specialists on young parenting, since they are young parents themselves
- Services Australia (Centrelink) Community Engagement Officer assisting with access to information, payments and services
- Domestic Violence Action Centre (DVAC) – a team of domestic violence specialists provide a non-judgmental approach to support students who may require this service. They provide practical assistance, risk assessment and safety planning, information and advice and referrals to other support agencies.
- Community Donations – students have access to donations such as nappies, toiletries, baby items etc.
