About the program

Every family deserves the chance to grow stronger together. Intensive Family Support is here for families facing escalating contact with the child protection system to address any safety and family functioning issues to ensure children can remain safely with their family.

We work alongside caregivers to understand their goals, build on their strengths and create safer, more nurturing environments for children. Whether it’s learning new parenting strategies, changing housing, or healing relationships, our team is there every step of the way. 

We treat children as individuals with their own needs and rights, and support caregivers with compassion, not judgement - because when families feel supported, kids are more likely to grow up safe, connected and cared for.
