Centacare’s Family Relationship Education and Skills Training program (FREST) offers a diverse range of courses designed to develop and strengthen relationships.  Many of our courses support strong family relationships, while others examine and build skills required for healthy and strong peer and adult relationships.

The programs are offered in a variety of formats including 3, 6 and 8 week courses as well as ‘one-of’ sessions.  The team is also able to design a workshop or course to meet the specific needs of a school, community group or workplace.
