About the Family Connections Program

Family Connections is a collaborative program between Conflict Resolution Services (CRS) and Multicultural Hub (mHub), with a focus on providing inclusive support to young people and their families in addressing family conflicts, enhancing well-being, and reducing the risk of youth homelessness.

The program works with all young people aged 15-24 and their families with a focus on the multicultural community to create an inclusive and accessible service.

This initiative places a strong emphasis on early intervention, aiming to create a supportive environment that empowers young people and their families to build stronger relationships. Whether through family counselling, communication coaching, or family mediation, the program’s goal is to reduce the risk of youth homelessness and nurture the overall welfare of all family members.

The program works with young people and their families to address their complex and intersecting risk factors through a youth-centred/family focused integrated service model. The Family Connections program provides a culturally safe prevention and intervention response to youth homelessness through a multidisciplinary approach. This program adopts a collaborative approach combining the strengths and expertise of both organisations.
