Domestic and Family Violence

YFS’ Responsible Men program works with men who have been violent in their relationships to help them change their behaviour.

Through counselling and group education, perpetrators of domestic violence learn how to change their decision making without using violence and how to use this knowledge to make positive changes for healthy and safe relationships.

We work in partnership with WAVSS to address the safety of women and children associated with the men participating in the Responsible Men program.

YFS Legal

YFS Legal is a community legal centre that provides general legal services to people in Logan and surrounding areas. We cater for people of all ages, but we specialise in providing information, advice and representation on criminal matters for young people aged 10-25 years old.

We provide one-off free legal advice appointments on family, civil, tenancy and criminal law matters, and also provide a duty lawyer at the Beenleigh Children’s Court on Tuesday morning each fortnight.

YFS Legal also offers a Wednesday night legal clinic

staffed by volunteers.
