SMG Community Support

Providing Support and Hope In Practical Ways

Increasingly over time the Christian Pastoral Support Workers who SMG represent have been responding to the needs of school communities by broadening their pastoral support to include more practical and social justice oriented services, which in 2006, saw the formal introduction of SMG Community Support Services.

SMG is committed to providing relief of poverty, suffering and distress amongst young people and their families across South Australia and consequently through SMG Community Support Services we are responding to the real needs of the community through the relationships forged with students, their families and school communities South Australia.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Through a professional yet relational approach, SMG Community Support Services aims to serve the needs of the community through the provision of a range of services and programs supporting students and their families in the creation of stable and healthy environments.

By building healthy environments of encouragement and growth, we seek to create opportunity for students and their family members to cultivate an empowered, caring, competent and responsible approach to life as valuable members of their communities who, in turn, value others and their environment.
