Senior Child and Family Wellbeing Practitioner - Katherine

TeamHEALTH deliver community support programs to children, families and adults within the Katherine and Big Rivers region.

The aim of the Child and Family Wellbeing Service is to support children and young people who are showing early signs of, or are at risk of developing a mental illness, to improve their wellbeing and enable them to better participate in their communities and reach their full potential. The key outcomes are:

  • Children and young people have improved emotional health and wellbeing.
  • Children and young people can better manage the different aspects of their lives.
  • Families and carers are helped to support their children and young people.
  • Communities have a better understanding of and response to mental health issues that affect children and young people.

The Child and Family Intensive Service (CaFIS) in partnership with Kalano Community Association, integrate culturally safe, strength-based and whole-of-family approaches to work alongside the family unit as well as individual family members. The program aims to enhance family and community functioning, individual wellbeing, strengthen and heal inter-family relationships and address complex risk factors relating to various life domains including mental health, education, housing and food insecurity. CaFIS families benefit from high levels of contact with support workers, multiple supports each week and have access to TeamHEALTH group activities including women’s cultural sessions led by a First Nations team member.

Reporting to the Team Leader, the Senior Child and Family Wellbeing Practitioner will work closely with the Youth and Family Services Manager at Kalano to focus on delivering early intervention, risk assessment, risk minimisation and relapse prevention approaches for participants referred to the CaFIS Program which is both timely and culturally sensitive. The role may also include development and delivery of mental health education sessions for the purpose of upskilling the CaFIS team members from both TeamHEALTH and Kalano Community Association.
