Collaborative Community Efforts
Strengthening Families Through Partnership
Counterpoint Community Services plays a pivotal role in the Inner City Child and Family Interagency group, a coalition dedicated to enhancing the well-being of families in our community. Through this partnership, we engage in collaborative initiatives that are both evidence-based and community-driven, aiming to provide comprehensive support to families. Our involvement ensures that we are at the forefront of developing innovative strategies that address the unique needs of children and families, fostering a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. By working closely with other child and family services, we are committed to creating a network of support that empowers parents and caregivers, ultimately leading to stronger, more resilient communities.

Voices from Our Community
“I have been coming to the
Community Playgroup for seven years
now; all three of my children have
come to the same group. To see Jo
and Tom over the years has been the
loveliest community connection. The
online adaptation was appreciated
while we were stuck at home” Jane
“I can’t thank Counterpoint enough for the opportunities their playgroups have given my children. We missed the group; to have it return allows us to see our neighbours
and family again.”
