Family Support Services
Keeping Families Strong, Safe and Connected
Akeyulerre Family Support Services (FSS) is a culturally grounded, community-led program supporting families in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and surrounds to keep children safe, connected to culture, and thriving at home.
We work alongside families in Alice Springs and surrounding communities—including Amoonguna, Atitjere, Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa), Titjikala, and Ti Tree—offering practical support that builds parenting skills, strengthens family functioning, and promotes child wellbeing.
Our approach is:
- Culturally Secure: Rooted in Arrernte values and healing practices.
- Child-Centred and Family-Led: Families guide their own goals and plans.
- Collaborative: We partner with Territory Families, Housing and Communities (TFHC), and other local services to ensure holistic support.
- Flexible and Responsive: We adapt to the changing needs of families and prioritise high-risk cases.
Services include:
- Intensive case management and family safety planning
- Support for reunifying children in care with their families
- Assistance with parenting, life skills, housing, and access to health and education services
- Cultural activities and connection to country
We are committed to walking with families on their journey, helping them build strong, safe, and nurturing environments for their children.
