Intercultural Programs
Intercultural Programs at drummond street
What do we do?
drummond street provides an opportunity for you to explore the difficulties within your family relationships and constraints in adjusting to cross-cultural relationships or marriages.
We base our service on strategies of access and equity that emphasise non-discriminatory services to all people. We take into consideration another’s social and economical status, gender, religious beliefs, age, ethnicity and nationality.
Our strategies are particularly aimed at providing relationship services to those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Counselling provides a space for couples and families to address patterns of interaction and communication that might limit their capacity for a productive and fulfilling life.
