The Family Support Network (FSN) program is a key component of the Department鈥檚 Building Safe and Strong Families Earlier Intervention and Family Support Strategy. The FSN model has now been expanded across the metropolitan area, and operates in four corridors:
- Fremantle/Rockingham
- Cannington/Armadale
- Mirrabooka/Joondalup
- Perth/Midland
The FSN is delivered in partnership with an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) and aims to provide culturally appropriate services which prioritise the needs of Aboriginal families.
The FSN works with families to identify and improve their cultural needs and are designed to include their natural support networks and wider community links that encourage and assist families to thrive in their community.
The FSN is designed to help families:
- Improve parenting skills to care safely for their children at home by teaching parenting skills
- Receive an integrated and coordinated service response to divert them from the child protection system
- Develop and strengthen culturally safe support networks.
