CAFS For Baby's Sake

CAFS are leading the implementation of an exciting new early intervention program called For Baby's Sake, which is being delivered in Ballarat and surrounding areas - helping connect expectant parents with free support that strengthens parenting confidence, promotes healthy relationships, and gives babies the best possible start in life.

As we know, the early years are critical to a child's future wellbeing, learning, and development. Supporting families during pregnancy and up until a child's first two years of life can have lasting benefits not only for babies, but also for school-aged children by strengthening family relationships, improving emotional wellbeing, and creating safer, more stable home environments.
