Join us for a fun and supportive program designed for young girls to build confidence, learn practical self-defence skills, and have open conversations about everyday challenges.

Learn how to stay safe and respond in different situations
Build confidence, resilience, and respect

The Walking Together Program is a partnership between Uniting, EACH and the Australian Childhood Foundation.

The program provides therapeutic counselling and support to young people and their families/carers. The program works with young people and their families to address violence in the home including factor that may ne contributing to or are the result of violence. We work therapeutically with the young person and their families to support healthy expression of emotions and engage in respectful and connective relationships.

Safety and ongoing risk assessment are a priority and safety planning is collaboratively undertaken with the young person and the family to increase safety in the home. All people and families are welcomed including those from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, LGBTQ+ communities and people with disabilities.

We provide:

  • Individual, parent and family counselling that incorporates a comprehensive safety and well-being assessment, development of a care plan, therapeutic assessment and support and referral to external services.
  • A groupwork program that is tailored to the needs of the young person and focuses on emotion regulation, behaviour change and skills development in areas such as respectful communication, stress management and managing triggers to externalising behaviours.
  • Brokerage resources.
  • Care co-ordination to ensure a collaborative and systemic support for the young person and their family.
