Waverley Emergency Adolescent Care

WEAC is a community based, non-profit agency established in 1985 as a service for families with teenagers in Eastern Suburbs.

WEAC aims to prevent total family breakdown by providing an opportunity for time-out accommodation, together with preventative or additional services such as meditation, family therapy and specialist counselling.

WEAC has a network of local support families who are trained and experienced volunteers who care about young people and believe in family life. WEAC is for families and teenagers where a teenager may require emergency, medium or long term accommodation due to:

  • Family Breakdown
  • Temporary crisis
  • Hospitalization of parent/s
  • Stress within the family unit
  • Conflict between a teenager and their family or family members
  • Communication difficulties between teenager and their family
  • An inability to cope with stress or problems in the family
  • Survivors of physical, sexual, psychological abuse and neglect/p>
