Funded by Department of Communities and Justice, the Indigenous Advancement Strategy, the Brotherhood of St Lawrence, Department of Social Services and the Primary Health Network , PSFaNS advocates for services, projects and resources to inform, support and empower the individuals or groups that are being disadvantaged. PSFaNS is a strong advocate for social wellbeing to its local community and has formed close partnerships with various government and non/government agencies with similar objectives. These partnerships give opportunity to enhance outcomes and social conditions in the community particularly in respect of vulnerable groups and individuals.
Our work would not be possible without the work of our dedicated volunteers. Volunteers have helped out in a great many ways; assisting our emergency relief team, preparing food for schools and groups, assisting in our children’s / youth groups; assistance in running and maintaining office IT; gardening and so much more.
Your ongoing commitment, dedication and time enable us to deliver exceptional service and support to our wider communities. Because of this invaluable contribution, we’re eager to say a big public “Thank you volunteers! We salute you!”.
An animal’s presence in a counselling or group setting can have a calming effect on children, acting as an ‘ice-breaker’ that is comforting and increases engagement. Children have said that they find it easier to talk to animals or to talk with an animal present. In addition, valuable social and emotional learning can occur through a relationship with an animal.
