JANNAWI OVERVIEW & STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Jannawi has two funded programs. The Family Program at Jannawi is the continuation of a unique model of child protection established in 1978 as one of the first child protection services in Australia. A multidisciplinary team provides an intensive and comprehensive range of services to children and families and shares their knowledge and experience with other services through training and presentations.
Community Connections is a Bilingual Family Support Service for families with young children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. It contributes to the wellbeing of young children and families by delivering and facilitating access to appropriate services and connecting families to the local community and service network.
The Jannawi team consists of 10 part time staff, 5 in the Family Program, 3 in Community Connections and a Centre Administrator and Director.
We have focus on the wellbeing of the individuals we work with and our programs contribute to improvements in their safety and resilience. At the same time our work also contributes to the development of a strong and resilient community in which the well being of all its members can be enhanced.
All our efforts are directed towards achieving or contributing towards one of the following client or population results:
- The at risk children we work with are safer and more resilient (safer children)
- For these at risk children their families are able to provide more safety and support (stronger families)
- An improved capacity of other services and the community to better support families and protect and nurture children (stronger communities, stronger families and safer children)
- All the children and families we work with are better connected to and supported by appropriate services and community networks ( more resilient and safer families and children)
