What the program is about

For over 15 years, The Y has worked in partnership with Boronia Pre-Release Centre for Women to help incarcerated mothers achieve their maximum potential to re-enter the community positively, confidently, and safely. We are currently funded through the Department of Social Services.

Boronia has space for up to 11 mothers to reside with their children up to the age of 4.

We provide tailored parenting and life skills workshops and playgroup sessions. These programs provide mothers with opportunities to strengthen relationships with their children and build upon their parenting knowledge and offer them a high-quality early learning program.
