The Turkish Welfare Association was established in Marrickville in 1969 under the name 'Syndey Turkish Association'. As a result of changes, in 1974 it was renamed to the Turkish Welfare Association. The Turkish Welfare Association works to provide support and advocacy for the Turkish Community in Australia. All activities are open to all communities. Helping those with the inability to communicate in English and supporting them through differing pandemics.

We provide counseling, financial support and other services to people who are in need. Primarily focusing on elderly individuals and unemployed young people. This allows us to aid both the future generations to come along with the past generations. Inevitably, allowing the two different generations to work side by side. Follow our Facebook Page to view all the work we are doing to help our people within the community.

Children and Young People

STARTTS provides a broad range of services for children and young people. We employ specialist youth workers and child and adolescent counsellors to work with this age group. They also work closely with others that are important to children such as parents, schools and youth services.

Often, we use fun activities to connect with children and young people such as soccer (football) programs, camps and art groups. Sometimes this will lead to individual counselling.

Many children will access more than one of our programs.

The Experiences of Refugee Children and Young People

Children and young people are not spared from the human rights abuses that force people to become refugees. They may experience these ordeals as part of a family or on their own, when they are separated from their parents.

Some of the common experiences of refugee children and young people are:

Separation from family and friends, including one or both parents

War and violence, including rape, bombings and forced military service

Dangerous journeys with limited supplies

Death or disappearance of loved ones such as fathers and brothers

Refugee camps which are violent, overcrowded, lack safe drinking water and sanitation and have little opportunities for education

Hunger and starvation

Disease

Adjusting to an unfamiliar environment and culture

How Refugee Experiences Affect Children and Young People

Although refugee children generally seem amazingly resilient, their experiences can also make them vulnerable and may result in difficulties adjusting to Australian society and leading a 'normal' life. Despite this, with a bit of support they can learn to adapt to their new environment and enjoy life again.

Some problems they may face include:

Sleep difficulties and nightmares

Inability to concentrate and learn

Fear and anxiety

Depression

Becoming withdrawn and quiet

Becoming overly aggressive

Withdrawing from play and other social activities

Missing family and friends

Acting out

Truancy

Drug and alcohol abuse

For younger children, excessive crying, screaming, trembling and clinging

Taking on more adult roles in the family

Parents who are unable to care for them properly

Fitting in and making friends at school

Understanding English and keeping up in the classroom.

Our team of audiologists, listening and spoken language therapists, child and family counsellors and cochlear implant surgeons work collaboratively to ensure the best possible outcome for your child and family.

Helping deaf children learn to listen and speak for almost 50 years

The Shepherd Centre has helped more than 2000 Australian children with hearing loss to develop speech, language and listening skills. Our intensive early intervention program helps give deaf children the support and skills they need to succeed and thrive at mainstream school alongside their hearing classmates. We also work closely with families to give you the knowledge, encouragement and support you may need along the way.

Watch a video from mum Ivy who talks about her experience getting started with The Shepherd Centre.

Seeing results at The Shepherd Centre

Families who come to The Shepherd Centre seek a listening and spoken language future for their child, with the very best listening, speech, language and social skills possible. Our mission is to help your family achieve this vision for your child.

Over 85% of children who attend The Shepherd Centre start school as confident students with equivalent or better language skills than their hearing classmates - testament to the incredible skill and hard work of their families and clinicians.

What we're known for

Family focused, personalised support

Children are unique and their families are too, so we take the time to get to know families and work with you to create the most appropriate support plan for your child. We equip and empower families, and connect you with other families of children with hearing loss so you can feel part of a strong support network.

Ready for school

Our programs are designed to ensure children with hearing loss have all the skills they need to enter school as confident, capable students. Most children who attend The Shepherd Centre typically achieve age-appropriate speech and language skills by the time they get to school.

Support for unilateral and mild hearing loss

We support kids with a range of hearing abilities including unilateral (hearing loss in one ear only) and mild hearing loss. Our research shows that children with all levels of hearing loss can benefit from being supported and equipped to learn how to make the most of the hearing they have access to.

Support hubs and remote access

Each one of our centres provides a full range of services, enabling flexibility for families who can access everything in one place. For those who can't make it to a centre or who live in remote or rural areas, we deliver support via our Online Telehealth System and outreach workshops.

Child and Family Counselling

When a child is diagnosed with hearing loss, the journey ahead can feel daunting. That's why we employ a dedicated and experienced team of counsellors who can help you take each step as it comes. They're the first support people you will meet at The Shepherd Centre and they're a constant source of support for your family throughout your time with us.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider

The Shepherd Centre is an approved provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme. For more information about the Scheme and how your family might be eligible for support, please click here.

The term Autism Spectrum Disorders refers to a group of developmental disorders that are apparent before the age of three years and in which there is a unique combination of abnormalities in reciprocal social interaction, patterns of communication and restricted and stereotyped interests and activities.

Children vary a great deal in their presentation however it is the lateness in talking that often alarms parents first. To empower children with Autism and their families through knowledge and support. Many children have associated developmental delay in general skills such as in play and personal self help.

Another way to understand the Autism Spectrum is that children with these disorders process information from people around them and the environment in very disordered and unusual ways.

We expect children with ASD to develop and change over time and there is a general trend toward improvement with passing of the years though this may be slow. We expect children to go to school and learn. We expect them to grow up and to contribute to society. Early intervention helps and services that deliver this in Partnership with Parents and respect the goals of families are generally more successful in supporting people than services that do not.
