About the organisation
Casey North Community Information & Support Service is located in the rapidly increasing south east growth corridor of metropolitan Melbourne. The organisation was established in 1997 and since that time has developed a suite of programs to respond to the most vulnerable and disadvanted people presenting in crisis and in need of support. The population of the City of Casey consists of many young families struggling with the challenges of life. The incidence of family breakdown has been identified as a problem in this local community and many clients have presented to Casey North CISS seeking support as a result of the issues that are experienced when family breakdown occurs. The City of Casey also has one of the highest rates of family violence incidents reported to Victoria Police in the State.
About the role
The aim of the Keeping It Together program is to identify the contributing factors that lead to family breakdown and family violence and assist families to identify and address these issues before they result in issues of emotional distress or violence. The information provided assists the participants to increase their awareness and understanding of the prevalence, patterns and causes of unhealthy relationships and provides skills that are necessary to deal with the issues that place pressure on relationships. The program is not provided in isolation, clients would be linked in to our other program areas such as financial counseling, social work and emergency relief as appropriate.
