Safer children, stronger families, stronger communities
Help us stop child abuse &
provide a safe place for children
JANNAWI FAMILY CENTRE - SYDNEY
Jannawi was established in 1978 to support children who have experienced trauma through violence, neglect, psychological or sexual assault, including as a result of family violence.
We do not judge and we do not limit our support; we walk beside families until they are strong enough to walk together. We acknowledge the Wangal people of the Eora Nation who are the traditional owners of the land on which we work, and pay respect to their Elders past and present. We value the diversity and resilience of our community in the South Western Sydney region.
"Two Lives" video tells the story of the Jannawi approach
