Dear parents and caregivers,
Due to changes to the Parenting Services provided and funded through the State Government, Meerilinga will need to temporarily close its Parenting Service Facilities to new families.
This is not something we do lightly however we feel it would be unfair to take on new referrals at this time without being able to offer all the support we pride ourselves on providing to assist families and children.
So where does this leave you ?!
We are more than happy to put you on a wait list and contact you at the end of January however we fully understand that usually when you need help you need it ‘right now’ – in the interim – we would like to suggest you contact one of the support lines helping families from the contacts below. These organisations will be working over the Christmas period and throughout January.
Crisis Care 9223 1111 or 1800 199 008
Ngala Helpline 9368 9368 or 1800 111 546
Lifeline 131114
Kids Helpline 1800 551 800
We thank for your support and understanding and we look forward to being back doing what we are passionate about -working with people like yourselves – in early 2017.
