Enabling change with Aboriginal Families and Services
We noticed that something about Family by Family wasn’t clicking for Aboriginal families. Other services in the north of Adelaide also talked to us about how they were struggling to help Aboriginal families make change.
So we’ve spent the last few months hanging out with Aboriginal families to see how Family by Family can work best for them and support the changes they want to make.
From spending time with Aboriginal families (as well as some workers they knew, and our Family by Family team) we learnt some good lessons. Our aim is to make Family by Family awesome for all families, and be nice and frank about what we’re doing to work better with Aboriginal families.
We have written a report on this to share some of our learning and make it clear what we are are going to do.
This report looks at some of the early stages of creating Family by Family. After co-designing solutions with families, we developed a scalable prototype to enable families to thrive.
This report is the first in a series sharing what we’ve learned about enabling all families to live towards the lives they want – the “Good Life”.
This is the first external evaluation of Family by Family and shares the key insights and learning from the program – detailing that within its short timeframe of implementation it is demonstrating change for families across the continuum of family support.
