Family Wellbeing Support Program

The Family Wellbeing Support Program (FWSP) focuses on reducing families' experiences of social isolation and loneliness, while also considering other important factors affecting their overall health and wellbeing. By building connections and encouraging community involvement, the program aims to alleviate feelings of isolation, stress, and loneliness, while empowering families to make meaningful changes to their health and wellbeing. The program is run by a Social Prescribing Link Worker.

The program supports families with children aged 0-12 years in the Inala-Richlands and
surroundings areas at risk of or are experiencing social isolation and loneliness who are looking to
connect with local services and activities

The FWSP helps to improve mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and
loneliness, enhances physical well-being through activities like exercise and outdoor programs, and
empowers individuals to build confidence and take control of their health. It provides access to local
community resources, reduces reliance on medical services, and supports holistic health, while
promoting a sense of purpose and belonging within the community and strengthening wraparound
supports for families and communities.
