ABCD Somali Project

Tuesday, 30 June 2009

The ABCD program is now available for the Somali community. Parents of adolescents in Victoria's Somali community recently took part in an ABCD program delivered by trained Somali facilitators.

This trial with the Somali community of Victoria has broadened the reach of ABCD, making it more accessible and culturally relevant to a wider range of Australian families. Participating families reported that the ABCD program was relevant and enjoyable for their families.

The ABCD program was developed with the assistance of a consultant with expertise in dealing with communities that are culturally and linguistically diverse. It is also available in Arabic, Macedonian, Spanish, Vietnamese and Turkish. The ABCD program has now been delivered to over 4000 families across Victoria, from English and non-English speaking backgrounds.
