Coffs Harbour Family Relationship Centre

Interrelate has been strengthening family relationships since 1926, and backed by that experience, has embraced the opportunity to provide quality services for the new Family Relationship Centre at Coffs Harbour.

Our service is run by professionals, who are often parents, carers or grandparents themselves and who care about their community.

Our facility has convenient ground floor access right in the centre of town and we invite you to visit our Centre.
The Coffs Harbour Family Relationship Centre provides:

• a relaxed setting to browse information about relationships and relationship difficulties over a cup of tea or coffee;
• a place where men, women and children can all ask questions and talk comfortably about their family relationships;
• relationship information and assessment for separating families and families who are together;
• support and assistance that enables parents to focus on the needs of their children during the painful time of separation;
• parenting education seminars (including Building Connections) to assist parents unable to communicate other than through a lawyer;
• special materials for children - charming sock puppet booklets that explain, in simple language, why their parents are visiting the Centre.  The booklets help children understand that relationship difficulties in families are normal and that the Centre will help their parents sort things out;
• dispute resolution that helps parents resolve their conflict, get parenting arrangements in writing where necessary and understand how the children's needs are best included;
• quality advice on family relationships, the children's needs (especially in connection with family separation) and how to deal with family conflict;
• referral to other services - including Interrelate's counselling and mediation services and group programs - according to family needs; and
• outreach services to various locations in the district – please contact us for details.
