Community and family Support Programs

This program aims to target children, young people, families and communities within NSW who are experiencing, or at risk of, vulnerability.

With a focus on early help and support, the objective of the CAFS program is to provide targeted services at the point where they can have the most impact.

MVNS recognizes:

• The significance of culture and identity in safety for Aboriginal children and young people in their families and broader communities
• Support parents to meet the physical and material needs of their children
• Support parents to meet the emotional needs and development of their children through warm and nurturing interactions and encouragement
• Assist young people to stay connected with their family and make positive life choices as they move into adulthood
• Actively engage with children, families and communities experiencing vulnerabilities, working with them to provide the services they need, which may involve coordinating service provision across the sector
• Help communities to support and protect their members, through building stronger social connections and support networks
