The family services sector supports families under stress. Typically, services in this sector help families (with dependent children) whose capacity to function is limited by the stresses of life – either internal issues such as mental health or external issues such as dealing with government agencies.

CRC has been funded for three years through Community Builders to deliver free training to the Metro South West Region.(MSWR)
Each year over 120,000 children visit NSW prisons. The trauma of forced separation can cause feelings of abandonment, shame and isolation, leading to poor performance at school, truancy and low self esteem. Recent studies show that prisoners children are 3 times more prone to significant mental health problems and anti-social behaviour than their peers-and the cycle of offending is perpetuated.
With increased engagement and integrated support this cycle can be interrupted. Through increased understanding and service provision we seek to reduce the stigma, trauma, isolation and disadvantage, care, crime and custody within the MSWR communities.
This training package has been written to assist community workers to better support children of offenders by understanding the impacts on children when they have a loved one incarcerated and the ways in which we as workers can engage with them. The package aims to specifically help participants :
Understand how imprisonment of parents or close family members affects children
Help families/carers tell children that their parent or family member is in a correctional centre
Assist families to stay in touch with family members in a Correctional Centre by visiting and in other ways
Support children while their parent or family member is in a Correctional Centre
