Donna Cossio's Company Details
The Family Relationships Institute Inc. is a not-for-profit educational community agency governed by a Board of Management. The Institute has no affiliations with any religious or political organisation; and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS). The Family Relationships Institute Inc. was founded in 1978 by Don Burnard, a Senior Psychologist who specialised in relationship development courses; and Dr Ron Fitzgerald who was a Commissioner for the Education Section of the Henderson Poverty Report. The objectives of the Institute are to provide, at signficant life stages, family and relationship education and counselling services to assist individuals, couples, families and children engage in community life and navigate life events. Our RelateWell courses help participants recognise that they have the potential to be the experts in shaping their future lives; and in maintaining fulfilling and meaningful relationships and family life. Our education and counselling services are primarily in early intervention and prevention and target the significant family transition points including relationship formation, extension and separation. The Institute aims to provide programs and services at a price which keeps them within financial reach of the majority of people in the community. Strengthening access and services to vulnerable and disadvantaged families is a strategic key in service delivery. The Institute is incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act.
