Reconnect

Even when you are young life’s challenges can seem overwhelming. We are here to help you. Reconnect is a service that provides confidential support for families to try to help young people to stay at home until they have the necessary skills to become independent.

We help young people who are homeless and those at risk of homelessness to become more involved with their family, work, education, training and the community through mediation, counselling and practical support for the whole family.

We work closely with other local services to provide help in a way that is sensitive to the family’s needs and those of the community.

Reconnect is a Confidential Service.

 

How do we help young people and their families?

We assist young people to: – 

  • Work things out with the family.
  • Connect with programs that help to find employment.
  • Stay in school when it gets tough.
  • Link into training options.
  • Get income support if eligible; and
  • Find somewhere safe to stay if necessary.

We can help parents, guardians and families to: –

  • Learn to live together when things are hard; and
  • Learn to live apart but stay connected.
