Community and social outreach
We provide support to our local community through our social outreach programs, including Casa Venegas, an outreach service for people with enduring mental health problems who are experiencing homelessness, as well as partnering with Waminda to support Aboriginal women.
Casa Venegas
Casa Venegas provides medium term accommodation to people with enduring mental health issues in western and inner Sydney.
People with mental health issues are one of the most disadvantage groups in society and make up a big part of our homeless population.
Our service helps people with enduring mental health issues who are homeless transition to independent living through a recovery-based framework approach.
Waminda
We partner with Waminda, a community-based Aboriginal organisation, to fund women’s gatherings in Nowra and participate in cultural exchanges.
Waminda provides a range of health care and wellbeing support programs to Aboriginal women and their families living along the south coast of New South Wales.
