Community services
An important part of our Social Outreach
and Advocacy program is our contribution to many forms of
community service. This involves charitable donations,
volunteer support or financial support within a structure of
partnership and capacity building.
Our caregivers have the opportunity to engage in community
service in a variety of ways providing opportunity
to enhance the service being supported and
raise awareness of the service by the caregiver.
Some of the services include:
Drug Alcohol and Withdrawal Network (DAWN)
Operating across the metropolitan area, this is a free
and confidential home-based withdrawal
service. It helps people to either reduce or stop their
drug and/or alcohol use in their own environment.
Raphael Centre
The Raphael Centre
Subiaco provides information and support to women and their
families affected by antenatal and post natal anxiety and
depression.
St John of God Health Care is committed to expanding its
community-based Social Outreach services to address some of the
underlying causes of poor health and well being. Our strategy
concentrates on two key themes – capacity building and early
intervention particularly in the early years of a person’s life and
young people.
