Finding Support Together
Annual Report 2024 - 2025
When a father felt lost navigating services for his daughter’s mental health, our team stepped in. Today, both are linked into the right supports and feel less alone.
When his teenage daughter’s mental health began to decline, a father found himself overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. He had taken leave from work to be there for her, but navigating the maze of services felt impossible. Referrals were made, yet no one contacted them, leaving him feeling isolated and unsupported.
The Family Support team stepped in to walk alongside him. We helped confirm when his daughter would start receiving the mental health services she had been referred to, so he no longer felt left in the dark. At the same time, we focused on his wellbeing. Together, we explored what support was available for him, including therapeutic services and a referral to Carers ACT. He also learned about the Tuning in to Teens program, which could help strengthen communication and connection with his daughter.
Throughout this journey, our team provided a listening ear and ongoing emotional support until other services were fully in place.
Now, this father says he feels less alone and more confident about the future. His daughter is linked into the right supports, and both are on a steadier path forward.
