family wellbeing program
TAIHS Family Wellbeing program provides support to families with children prior to conception through to 18 years who may be experiencing some vulnerability that is affecting the family’s safety and wellbeing.
Family Wellbeing Workers (WW) support the family to identify the areas of support that may be required to promote strong connection to family; culture and to minimise the risk of children entering or re-entering the Out of Home Care System.
The Family Wellbeing staff work with families to identify strengths and individual needs in one or more of the domains below:
- Child Wellbeing
- Cultural Identity and Connectedness
- Family Safety
- Family Interactions
- Parenting
- Health
- Material Wellbeing
Wellbeing Workers use the Queensland Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak Practice (QATSICPP) Standards as the framework for supporting families.
Support is focused on identifying families’ story-line and providing activities to assist parents and family to engage in changing story-lines that will promote optimum care and development of their children.
Supportive activities may include information, advice and referral to other services; activities at our early childhood space – Yamani Meta; and assigned Wellbeing Worker that does a variety of activities based on a family led plan for changing story-lines (this may include home visiting, support at specialist appointment, group work activities).
