Project CSC
Project CSC is an initiative of The Salvation Army Rouse Hill Region. C.S.C stands for Connect, Support, Community and aims to support families of children with medically complex or additional needs practically, socially, spiritually and emotionally within the Hills District and further into the Northwest Sydney corridor.
Our aim is to provide social and emotional support by facilitating pastoral conversations, providing and engaging in social and emotional support groups and where possible supporting whole complex and special needs communities’ well-being activities.
It is essential to have natural opportunities to meet and engage with families to build relationship so that open sharing and trust can be built, grow and thrive.
