Education services
Our innovative approach to education serves as the foundation for our own multi-campus school, as well as mainstream and specialist schools across Australia and beyond.
Trauma services
Our trauma services address the lasting mental health impacts of trauma. Through our world-leading, evidence-based therapeutic services, we help children, young people and families recover from family violence and lead healthy, happy lives.
Young people
Our programs for young people, including preventing youth homelessness and mentoring, support them to create the future they imagine for themselves. We’re guided by their voices and committed to engaging and partnering with young people with a lived experience.
Parenting and family services
Our parenting and family services are supporting generations of families to lead happy, healthy lives. Through our early intervention programs for parents and families, we are helping to create safe homes and connected communities.

Our post care support programs help young people who are leaving out-of-home care in their transition to independent living. We work alongside young people to help them set goals for the future and build connections to their community.
Community programs
Our community programs help strengthen and support local communities across Victoria. We work directly with and alongside local people and organisations to effect positive change together.
