Support for children experiencing family violence

of the children

Supported by KIDshine last year* achieved their goals.

KIDshine is a structured, brief intervention service for children traumatised from experiencing family violence, to increase their safety and wellbeing.

It’s offered to families, for free, over four to eight sessions. KIDshine is only offered when it’s safe for the children, which usually means the user of violence is no longer living in the same house.

_{*in the 2024-25 financial year}

Our KIDshine facilitators use age-appropriate methods to:

engage and build rapport with children
help children understand what has happened
ensure that they do not feel responsible for the violence
know what to do if they are in danger the next time
help them start healing by giving them strategies for dealing with feelings of fear, guilt, anger, sadness, etc.
