What is Stepping Stone?

Stepping Stone House was established in 1989 by a group of caring Australians. They were concerned by the number of homeless teenagers in our society.

It has a house at Dulwich Hill for six young residents with 24 hour, 7 days a week, supervision. There is a transitional Independent Living Program to which these young people progress and where a Case Manager monitors them.

An independent Family Counselling service operates from the house at Dulwich Hill.

The Stepping Stone program is designed to help these young people, often neglected and abused as children to take responsibility for their own lives. The aim is to empower them through nurturing and challenging experiences.
