LIVEfree Project works with Newcastle families who have or are experiencing domestic violence from their moment of crisis throughout their recovery journey. Many families are experiencing poverty, mental illness and trauma, and need support for practical needs. The Shine Bright Program is a weekly education program for at-risk students and their care givers, implementing early intervention strategies for community connect and involvement. The pilot program has achieved great outcomes, and Foundation funding will augment the offer to the community.
