All separated parents, whether in Family Court or not, are eligible to enrol following an assessment interview.

What is Family is Forever?

Family is Forever Program focuses on supporting families through the separation process.

Run over eight two-hour group sessions, the program covers:

  • The separation process
  • Managing emotions
  • Conflict management and effective communication
  • Impact of separation and conflict on children
  • Setting boundaries
  • Understanding oneself and own and children's needs

Parents do not attend the group with their former partners.

The program also offers short term individual counselling to parents who have attended or are attending the group program. The counsellors are highly qualified, professional staff experienced in working with families through family separation.
