Empowering Families Through Safety Planning
Safety planning is one of the most critical interventions we provide at Jannawi Family Centre. While it may seem like an obvious step, it is often overlooked or underutilized. Safety planning is a comprehensive and transformative process that goes beyond immediate physical safety. It explores the emotional, psychological, and situational factors that contribute to a person’s sense of risk and safety, laying the foundation for meaningful change.

Breaking the Cycle of Trauma and Homelessness: A Story of Strength and Resilience
Recently, we had the privilege of supporting a courageous woman and her children as they navigated the overwhelming challenges of homelessness, abuse, and the ripple effects of trauma.
This woman had endured a 30-year history of abuse from two former partners, leaving her with limited decision-making skills and feelings of powerlessness. Her two youngest children, an 11-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son, were also profoundly affected.

Strength in Connection – Responding to Family Crisis
Jannawi Family Centre provided crucial support to a mother in crisis—a reminder of the power of community, skilled intervention, and cultural understanding in times of need. This young mother of three—her children just 3 years, 2 years, and 10 months old—called out for help after being assaulted by members of her husband’s family, with her husband also involved.

Creating Safety
We have been supporting a family consisting of two children, aged 8 and 10, who live with their mum. The family was referred to us by DCJ (Department of Communities and Justice) to help create safety and support their healing and recovery from severe domestic and family violence (DFV), which their mum endured for over 20 years.
Angela’s Story
After years of abuse at the hands of her husband, Angela and her family started creating new and safe memories together and while working on healing from their trauma.
Jannawi have been supporting Angelas family, including three children aged 4, 8 and 10.
Peter’s Story
“I thank God that you accepted to take on our family, your service was a Godsend.”
These aren’t just words of gratitude; they’re a testament to the life-saving work of Jannawi Family Centre. Peter, a father who once felt helpless and alone in the face of domestic violence, found hope and healing through Jannawi’s unwavering support.
