Mission Australia Community Services walk alongside people in need to help them find:

Pathways to strong families and healthy, happy children

We help by:

• Working in disadvantaged communities with children, their siblings and their parents to help build stronger, more resilient families and to create opportunities for change
• Assisting families in developing new skills for managing conflict and crises
• Working with local communities to support families and children
• Supporting grandparents who have primary care of their grandchildren

Pathways away from homelessness

We help by:

• Offering services that prevent homelessness from occurring such as mental health support, financial counselling, literacy support, and family and individual support
• Providing crisis and transitional accommodation when homelessness does occur

Pathways through a successful youth

We help by:

• Assisting young people to overcome drug and alcohol dependency, and avoid anti-social behaviour
• Intervening early to assist young people at risk of homelessness or family breakdown
• Assisting young people to stay at or re-enter school, take up other education opportunities or engage in training and employment
• Working with young people to build their self-esteem and help them become more resilient
