Program objective
People with dependent children were identified as a priority population group in the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Drug 'ice' and this grant addresses a service gap for this population through a service that provides:
- an opportunity for people (regardless of gender) with children who have not been able to achieve or maintain their treatment goals in non-residential settings to undertake residential rehabilitation treatment
- families with holistic, non-judgemental, empathic, trauma-informed and family-inclusive care
- the opportunity for children to remain with their parents in a supportive environment
- treatment for clients that incorporates positive parenting and relationship strengthening between clients and their children
- the safe transition of clients into the community or into appropriate services following the completion of the residential rehabilitation program.
This program is funded and administered by NSW Health.
Eligibility
Ministerial approval was given for this targeted EOI to be released to NGOs that are already providing AOD residential rehabilitation for people (couples and/or single people regardless of gender) with children.
