Connection, Strength & Recovery Program

Connection, Strength and Recovery program (CSR) is a recovery model of intervention which aims to build victim-survivors’ resilience, wellbeing and resources. The program provides a protective factor against potential future experiences of domestic or family violence (DFV) where increased connection, resilience and resources may increase a woman's safety.

About our service

Victim-survivors are offered therapeutic supports that focus on their experiences of trauma and its impact on their health and well-being. This may be through access to therapeutic groups or connection with specialised trauma informed counselling.

Case management provides individualised support to identify and access the assistance a victim-survivor needs to recover from DFV trauma. This could include financial, legal, workforce and health supports. 

This service is funded by Department for Human Services.

• Therapeutic and recovery-based case management.
