I am one of the 1,700 families that have been able to get help locally for myself and my new baby. Without this service I don’t think my husband and I would have been able to cope with the major changes that having a baby does to you or your relationship. The wonderful guidance, re-assurance and suggestions that the women at this centre provide is invaluable.

I have made use of the centre a few times for various concerns and have come away feeling more positive about the way I have been caring for my child. Every parent I know who has utilised this service has gained some skills for dealing with early concerns and this has to be good for the health and wellbeing of the future generations we are raising.

The Northern Rivers family Care Centre is a vital health service in our community.
