HopeStreet - Building Safer Families

Building Safer Families

Working with families to break the cycle of domestic and family violence

How we support Building Safer Families:

• Counselling for individuals to address the needs of all family members who are healing from the trauma and/or impacts of violence and abuse.

• Women’s and Children’s Advocacy and Support work to improve safety, and provide access to community support and guidance.

• Men’s Behaviour Change Groups work with men who have used violence or abuse and want to change their behaviours, beliefs and attitudes.

• Women’s support groups provide a safe space to gain an understanding of the impact of abuse, and begin the recovery process through case work after guidance.

• Children’s and Adolescents’ Support offer a safe space for children who have experienced violence in the home.

• Family support is offered through counselling and programs to assist in the rebuilding of healthy relationships once the use of abuse has been addressed.
