VAFPRR – Community Connector
Victorian and Aboriginal Family Preservation and Reunification Response (VAFPRR) Community Connector Program.
UMFC’s VAFPRR Community Connector Practitioners work with children and young people from families who are currently engaged with the VAFPRR Program.
We work with children and young people to support improved mental health and change around their use of violence. We also create ongoing connections for children and young people with community organisations such as education, sport, arts and adventure.
UMFC walk alongside children, young people and families to achieve positive outcomes and sustainable change.
