Our Response to Family Violence: an All-Of-Family Approach

By Zoe Hopper March 17, 2025

At Family Life, we focus on an all-of-family approach to addressing family violence, recognising that true and lasting change comes from supporting every member of the family.  

By offering tailored support to both individuals and the entire family unit, we create pathways for healing, growth and transformation. 

From early intervention to specialised programs, we offer services that provide families with the tools they need to thrive. For those impacted by family violence, we provide trauma-informed care that helps them feel safe, supported, and empowered to rebuild. 

For those causing harm, we deliver programs that encourage personal responsibility, promote behaviour change, and nurture healthier relationships. 

As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce the development of an innovative new philanthropically funded program, designed to address the evolving needs of families navigating the challenges of family violence. 

Home In Focus Program 

Home In Focus is a comprehensive all-of-family support program tailored to the unique needs of each family member through a mix of office-based and in-home sessions. Its goal is to address family violence and harmful behaviours while uncovering how past experiences influence parenting and family relationships. The ultimate goal is to break the cycle of family violence and intergenerational trauma, creating a safe, nurturing home environment where children can thrive. 

The program places a strong emphasis on the voices and wellbeing of children, equipping families with tools to cultivate healthier, safer interactions. Tailored interventions for fathers provide a non-judgmental space to reflection their actions, understand the impact on their family, and foster personal growth. By addressing the root causes of family violence, Home in Focus supports parents to rebuild trust and develop positive, violence-free family dynamics. Click here for more info on Home in Focus.
