Vietnamese Family Support Program

The Vietnamese Family Support Program (Vietfam) assists local at-risk Vietnamese families to promote and maintain their children’s healthy development and well-being. Beyond case management, the program provides general information and advice, runs a parenting group and homework club, and participates in community development activities and events to support the wider Vietnamese community.

The VietFam program is unique in its approach as:
• It works alongside the local Vietnamese community, but maintains sufficient distance to give people confidence that the service is confidential;
• Many individuals who access the service do so through self-referral, hearing about it through word of mouth;
• We work with both victims of domestic violence (including children) and perpetrators to address and reduce domestic violence behaviours in the home and the wider Vietnamese community.
