What We Do

Families

Our programs helping families helped more than 6,412 people in 2008/09.

 

YWCA NSW develops the life skills of disadvantaged families to enable them to build healthy relationships in order to have a secure and safe environment in which children can thrive.

 

YWCA NSW also provides crisis support for individuals and families.

 

This includes:

  • Assistance for homeless individuals and families (and those at risk of homelessness) with crisis accommodation, casework and support, advocacy and financial assistance
  • Refuge housing for young women and their children
  • Support and referrals for people whose lives have been affected by domestic violence
  • Awareness and understanding of violence against women through school and community education programs
