COVID-19: Woodville Family Services Remain Open

For many children, young people and their parents, the COVID-19 outbreak can be worrying and confusing.

Our Services are still available for children, young people (0-18yrs) and their families during the COVID-19 crisis. We can assist with anxiety, depression, behaviour problems and general information about how to maintain good mental health during the COVID -19 crisis.

We are also very experienced at working with our multi-cultural community and have bi lingual workers available to assist, along with Interpreter Services.

While we are not able to meet you face to face, we can organise to speak with you over the phone, zoom or skype. You are also able to fill out the online referral form to request a service from us.

Click here to complete a referral form: Community Initiatives Referral Form and email this completed form to strongminds@woodville.org.au

For more information phone Monday-Friday between 9am – 5pm and ask for Jhodi 0447 654 435 or Maria 0435 953 367.

We work with children, families, young people and the community in general from our centres at Lidcombe and Carramar. Our services are delivered in the Fairfield and Bankstown Local Government Areas in partnership with other government and non-government agencies through outreach activities and home visits by our case workers.

How do I get a case worker to help for the Strong Minds program?

A referral form will need to be sent to us to review to make sure we are the right service for you. This can be filled out by the person needing support, parent, carer, school counsellor or a government or non-government support person. Or, if you want the support for your child or young person, birth to 18 years, you can phone us to discuss your referral on 9646 5516 between 9 am – 5 pm weekdays.Once we have processed the referral, we will be in touch to conduct an assessment so that we can work out together what the plan should be for your child or young person.
