At Family Life we understand that families come in all shapes and sizes. One definition of family does not always fit the mold as not all families look the same. Family Life is committed to a whole-of-family, whole-of-community approach that respects culture and place. We use an evidence-informed, outcome-based approach when working with families, children and young people. This approach means that no matter how your family is made up, we offer support for everyone 🧡 #FamilyLifeAu

Family Life is so pleased to announce we are the recipient of an Australia Post Community Grant to help fund youth mental health training workshops for teachers in the Bayside area.
