Family Support That Strengthens, Heals and Reunites
At Kanda, we help parents and carers create safe, stable and nurturing homes where children and young people can reach their full potential.
Our family support services combine early intervention, practical help, and trauma-informed care to strengthen families, reduce risk and support reunifications.
Why family support matters
Every child deserves to grow up feeling loved, safe and supported. But sometimes families face challenges that make that harder. We know that parenting support services can make all the difference.
With family support services, parents can learn the tools they need to help manage stress, improve relationships, and create consistency at home. When they have those tools, they’re better equipped to provide a loving base where children can thrive.
How we work with families
At Kanda, we offer several evidence-based, holistic and trauma-informed services in a family environment to help children, young people and families reach their full potential.
The Shark Cage
The Shark Cage uses a human rights approach to help women and girls who have experienced violence to understand, heal and prevent future violence from occurring.
Parents under Pressure
This program supports families facing multiple adversities with child development, attachment skills and providing emotional regulation.
NSW Family Support Program
For children between 3 and 5, it helps with social behavioural problems, difficulties with social-emotional or cognitive development, or parenting skills.
QLD Family Support Services
For Queensland families, we offer several family support services, including intensive family support programs and culturally appropriate services.
Tenancy Support
We help families secure housing services in Queensland so children can remain at home and parents can work towards stability.
Our commitment to cultural safety and inclusion
At Kanda, we know that for our programs to be effective, they need to be culturally safe and trauma-informed. Culturally safe practice means providing services that are respectful to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and other cultural identities, values, and connections to land, family, and community.
We ensure cultural safety at every level, from designing programs, engaging local community leaders, using culturally appropriate healing practices and recognising the importance of identity and country in providing family support.
Providing culturally safe support services
We work in partnerships with Elders, kinship networks, and Indigenous organisations. This community-led approach empowers parents to work towards positive outcomes for their family.
