Outreach Parenting Support Program
The Outreach Parenting Support Program provides intensive, family-centred case management for families with complex needs. Support can be delivered in the home, at our office, or in a community setting, depending on what feels most comfortable and appropriate for each family.
Fleurieu Families works alongside families who may be experiencing multiple challenges, including parenting stress, mental health concerns, family conflict, social isolation, child behaviour concerns, and involvement with other services. Our approach is practical, flexible, and responsive to each family’s unique situation.
We support parents to build confidence, strengthen their parenting skills, and improve family functioning. This includes assistance with behaviour management strategies, understanding child development, establishing routines, and creating safe and supportive home environments.
Fleurieu Families also assists families to navigate and engage with other services, including disability supports, mental health services, education providers, and housing or financial supports. We provide advocacy, coordinate care, and help families stay connected to the supports they need.
Our work often involves intensive, ongoing engagement with families, walking alongside them to address risks, build stability, and create sustainable positive change for children and young people.

Domestic and Family Violence
In an abusive relationship, one partner tries to dominate the other through physical harm, criticisms, demands, threats or sexual pressure. For the victim and (if applicable) their children, this behaviour can be dangerous, frightening and damaging.
In most cases, front line domestic violence information, referral and support services will be provided through specialist organisations. Services include financial, legal aid, accommodation, counselling and childcare assistance.
