Through this program we offer FDV specialist support to women and children who are Department of Communities – Housing Authority tenants in the Cannington, Victoria Park, Mirrabooka and Midland districts assisting women who are experiencing or have experienced family and domestic violence and have current safety concerns.
The program provides supports and interventions to keep women and children safe in their homes during challenging situations, when safe to do so. This is achieved through comprehensive risk assessment, safety and support planning, focusing on individual needs.
Our goal is to empower women and children to live free from violence and abuse by providing them with the support and resources they need to navigate challenging situations and build safer futures for themselves and their families.
I felt heard and validated and most of all understood, I felt the care was genuine
