Sutherland Shire Family Services Information

Sutherland Shire Family Services (SSFS) is a grass-roots, not-for-profit community organisation which provides a broad range of innovative and professional services to children, young people and families living in the Sutherland Shire and St.George areas. The heart of our mission is to strengthen family relationships and community connections, and to keep the children of the Sutherland Shire safe. SSFS provide a range of parenting and support programs that aim to reduce poverty and disadvantage and use practice approaches that recognise the impact of trauma, violence and abuse on child wellbeing. Through these programs, Sutherland Shire Family Services provide a safe-haven for families experiencing hardship - whether they come to us overwhelmed with family life, financial hardship or trauma through domestic violence, Sutherland Shire Family Services acknowledge, respect, listen, believe and support. Through this work SSFS aims to enhance families' capacity to support the growth and development of all family members.
