Family Inclusion Strategies Hunter

Family Inclusion Strategies Hunter is a group who have formed to promote family inclusion & improve outcomes for children and young people.

Family Inclusion Strategies Hunter (FISH) is a group of practitioners, parents, family members and carers who have formed to promote family inclusion in the lives of children in child protection and out of home care and family inclusive practice in the child protection and out of home care service system.
Our mission is simple. We want better outcomes for children and young people in the child protection system and in out of home care. FISH believes strongly that family inclusion will contribute to better outcomes, including higher rates of family preservation, restoration and improved family relationships and overall wellbeing for children in long term care.
The voices and action of parents and family are needed to make this happen.
FISH formed because we want the children and young people of the Hunter Valley of New South Wales in the child protection and out of home care systems to have better relationships with their families and for their families to be actively and respectfully included in their lives.
