Family Wellness Program Instructor Training: Evaluation Report

ANGLICARE (Diocese of Sydney) is the national provider of the Family Wellness Program in Australia. Through its Community Education and Training Unit, ANGLICARE conducts instructor training, to equip people to facilitate the Survival Skills for Healthy Families program among families, which is a Family Wellness Program. The Family Wellness suite of programs was designed to foster and promote the skills and values known to support healthy family functioning. Since their initial development, hundreds of families have participated in various versions of the program and offered confirmation of its value through their feedback. ANGLICARE Sydney is currently undertaking a process to introduce these programs into the Australian context. As a result of this initiative, a decision was made by the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaCSIA) to commission an evaluation to examine the effectiveness of the Family Wellness Program Instructor Training course.
