Agency Referrals

Birthed in 2004 out of a desire to see people from the local church assist the community in a social justice context – COACH was designed to equip people to draw alongside and support struggling families.

COACH provides frameworks that enable this to happen in a manner that keeps mentors safe by working within clearly articulated boundaries and ensures that client families are safe with mentors.

The C.O.A.C.H program support principles are:

1. An Ethos of Empowerment
2. A Goal Focused Approach
3. Utilising a Strength based approach
4. Utilising a Client centred approach when supporting people through life challenges
5. Working within an Ethical Framework
