Future areas

Growing slowly

Family by Family has big ambitions: Enabling all Australian families to thrive. We’d love to be in every community across Australia but we’re also brand new. We don’t want to grow too big, too fast, and lose the plot.

These days we’re concentrating on developing the Family by Family model in two areas – Marion and Playford, South Australia. At the same time we’re developing a way to scale Family by Family to new areas, in South Australia and other states.

If you’re interested in Family by Family coming to your area some time in the future please send us a message and let us know.

FAQ

What would it take to start-up family by family in my area?

Starting Family by Family in a new area takes people who really get and love the mission, vision, and beliefs. It also involves investing in roles, training & support, materials & messaging, tools & interactions, and evaluation.

If you think the Family by Family beliefs & model fit with your community, we’d love for you to keep in touch, come and visit, and learn along the way with us. We need families, local organisations, and government to champion family thriving!

Q: Family by Family Roles

Family coaches, kids coaches, and sharing families are three of the roles that make Family by Family what it is. Coaches provide ideas and inspiration to sharing families so they can help other families. They aren’t your average professional. Sharing families are families who have been through tough times and come out the other side.

Q: Family by Family Recruitment, Training and Support

New roles require different recruitment, training and support. We’ve designed some fun experiences like Family Camp and Team Coaching to train families and coaches.

Q: Family by Family Materials and Messaging

Attracting and engaging families is key to the success of Family by Family. We work with families in each community to design the messages and materials using loads of photos and visuals.

Q: Family by Family Tools and Interactions

Family by Family links-up families to change the things they want to change. We’ve developed a way of matching families, along with a series of tools to keep the focus on change.

Q: Family by Family Evaluation

We help families see the changes they are making by using sticker sheets to capture shifts in how kids & adults feel (attitudes), what kids and adults do (behaviours) and want (goals).
