Spotlight on

You might have already heard about this amazing organisation, but if not, let us introduce you to… Family by Family, a network of families supporting other families. Understandably we are excited about what they do because they work with Families from all cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

At the time of significant life pressures, it can take a load of one’s shoulders having this organisation by your side. This is what they say about themselves:

We walk along side and support families to make change. We work with two types of families: Families who have been through tough times and have come out the other side (Sharing Families) and Families who are currently going through a tough time and would benefit from support from another family (Seeking Family).
We support all types of families, we are not judgmental, religious, political or government. We are for all families of any shape size or culture!
Seeking Families are linked up with Sharing Families for 10, 20 or 30 weeks to support families to make positive ongoing change in their lives! Families choose what they want to change, who they link up with, when they meet and where they meet. Choice is very important to us! Families choose what they do and work towards their family’s goals!
We link-up families who are experiencing hard times with families who know what it’s like and have ideas to share. At Family by Family, we think that no family should have to struggle alone or rely on services that just don’t get it.
