Activity details
The Functional Family Therapy-Youth Justice program (FFT-YJ) is an intensive, evidence-based intervention designed to reduce youth reoffending and strengthen family relationships. Delivered by Ozchild in partnership with Yerrabi, an Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisation, the program ensures culturally responsive support tailored to the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities. The program is facilitated by qualified therapists who help identify strengths and challenges within the family, developing effective strategies for change within the family system.
