The program is built on the principle that all families go through tough times at some point.
By connecting a network of families to support one another, parents are empowered to make the changes they want in their lives.
Seeking Families are those navigating difficult times and looking for a new way forward, while Sharing Families are those who have weathered their own storms and come out stronger, ready to lend a helping hand.
Nanyan first engaged with the program as a Seeking Family and remembers the warm welcome she received.
“I was going through a tough time, but Family by Family encouraged me,” Nanyan says.
“Family by Family helped me find a balance between being a mum and being myself.
Even though I don’t have many relatives here, Family by Family made me feel like I belonged in Australia.”
With the support of her Sharing Family and the guidance of Family Coaches, Nanyan was able to settle into her new life.
The program wasn’t just about getting through the day-to-day challenges – it was about creating a life where she and Sumu could thrive.
“I felt a deep sense of warmth and encouragement. They helped me figure out my short-terms goals and achieve self-growth,” Nanyan says.
Today, Nanyan has embraced a new role as a Sharing Family, eager to give back the support she once received.
“I’m happy to help and support a new Seeking Family,“ she says.
“I would like to pass on my positive energy to those in need.
I'm ready to help them reach their goals, grow with them, and help make their life better.”
Nanyan’s story is a wonderful testament to how Family by Family not only provides support but also empowers families to rebuild their lives, fostering strength, community, and a true sense of belonging.
