services for families and children
Making changes can be difficult. Brighter Futures is able to provide tailored support to families for up to two years to ensure that families are able to achieve lasting and positive changes.
Each family joining the program will be supported by a Brighter Futures caseworker or Lead Agency worker, who will work with parents to plan for the services that will best support their family.
Services and supports provided include:
case management - Brighter Futures caseworkers regularly meet with families to plan for services that will support the family to achieve its goals, and to review the services and supports and the family’s achievements and ensure that services are provided in response to the changing needs of the family.
quality children's services - Quality children's services offer small group sizes and skilled, qualified and consistent child care staff. Quality children's services are also able to meet the developmental and cultural needs of children.
home visiting - Brighter Futures home visiting provides information, practical support and skills to parents in their home.
Consistent with research evidence, Brighter Futures caseworkers deliver a structured, evidence-based home visiting program to participating families
parenting programs - Parenting programs can help parents improve their relationship with their children, and prevent or address a range of issues families face including managing children’s behavioural and emotional problems.
