CONNECTED BEGINNINGS
The aim of the Connected Beginnings program is to support the integration of early childhood, maternal and child health, and family support services with schools in a number of disadvantaged Indigenous communities so that children are well prepared for school. Over time, this will contribute to reducing the disparity in school readiness and educational outcomes between Indigenous and non-indigenous children
The proposed project aims to further build on the successful work of the Total Learning Centre and adding to the space a conduit for families to access health and family support services. Through connections and collaboration with our community the project will provide access and support to access services that will wrap around the families of Mildura to improve their health and build skills to function in the community. The goal is to empower members of the community to build knowledge, skills and understanding to work with each other and create a sustainable positive outcome for all.
The project will bring together many of the services that stand alone in the Mildura area and work with members of the community to give them directions and access to these services. The common outcome being to provide families and children aged 0 to 5 years of age with the help needed to have school ready children by the age of 5 years. Often children and their families are in need of help with occupational therapy, regular doctor check¿ups, and speech support. The project will also provide access to preschools and ensure young children are attending regularly to benefit from the early year¿s programs provided
