Category
The Integrated Family Support Service is designed to improve the safety, wellbeing, and health of children from birth to 18 years old and their families.

This service is currently delivered in Tasmania.

If you’re having difficulty with your children, this service can help you learn practical strategies to improve your confidence and enjoyment in parenting. It can also support you to develop skills to manage challenging childhood behaviours, and to create a safe and nurturing environment for children.

Services Included
This program works with families to improve their parenting skills and provide support with challenging behaviours from children and young people.

We work in the best interests of children, and work with you as parents to understand and support the needs of your children.

We will actively work with your family to provide support. We can also link in with existing community networks or other service providers, depending on your unique needs.

The service is delivered in partnership with the Strong Families Safe Kids Advice and Referral Line. We will consult with the Advice and Referral Line if there are serious concerns about a child’s safety or welfare.
