What are we doing?

Deadly Families (DF)

DF is a culturally responsive program within DC that provides intensive, cultural, practical support for Aboriginal Mums (& Dads) who are expecting (6-8 weeks from due date) or with children aged 0-5 years old across the Inner West/City of Sydney LGA's. The program is designed to disrupt and prevent FDV, homelessness, incarceration, substance misuse and other social challenges experienced at disproportionate levels by mob. We work to improve the safety and social and emotional well-being of parents and children by providing culturally safe support, information, support, advocacy and referral for up to 12 months.
