Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss briefly Child and Youth Health's (CYH) Family and Baby Program (FAB). CYH is a statewide community health service for young South Australians funded by the State Government. The organisation has a primary health care focus and works in partnership with individuals, families and communities to enhance the health status of children and young people in South Australia, focusing on the promotion of health and the prevention of ill health. CYH has two divisions, the Child and Family Health Service (which offers health services to families of children aged 0 to 12 years) and The Second Story (which serves the health needs of young people aged 12 to 25 years). It also has a Parent Helpline, a statewide telephone information and support service for parents of both children and young people.
