Family Wellbeing Program also provides early intervention and prevention programs to increase skills and families' capacity to achieve sustainable outcomes. As part of this program the GAP peer support program encourages Grandparents who are the primary carer of their Grandchildren to meet regularly for peer support activities including guest speakers, coffee catch ups, monthly BBQs and school holiday activities for the the Grandparent families. All activities are attended and supported by a Family Worker.
