RelateWell, formerly known as Family Relationships Institute Inc., is a not-for-profit community organization established in 1978 in Australia. Specializing in family and relationship services, RelateWell offers a range of prevention and early intervention support services at crucial lifecycle transition points. Their services focus on relationship formation, extension, and separation, aiming to support family relationships, prevent breakdowns, and ensure the well-being of individuals through counseling and psychoeducation. With a commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, RelateWell is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services and is a Commonwealth service provider of mental health contracted services.
Driven by a mission to assist individuals, partners, and families in achieving and maintaining quality relationships, RelateWell is a leader in primary prevention, early intervention, treatment, and recovery services. Their specialist mental health services offer evidence-based interventions tailored to individuals’ needs, providing psychological support to adults, adolescents, and children. By working closely with key stakeholders and prioritizing vulnerable and disadvantaged families, RelateWell aims to strengthen access to services and promote healthy relationship practices at key transition points in life.
Emphasizing the importance of investing in prevention and early intervention, RelateWell challenges the cultural mindset that healthy relationships are solely about finding “the one.” By offering services that address challenges proactively and promoting the value of seeking assistance early on, RelateWell aims to reduce the social and economic costs associated with remedial interventions. Through their dedication to changing perceptions and promoting sustainable investment in relationship well-being, RelateWell continues to make a positive impact on individuals and communities across Australia.
