We create spaces where families feel safe, seen and able to reconnect
Our mission is to strengthen family connections through safe and structured family contact centres, where relationships can be restored, conflict navigated, and families empowered to grow together.
The Treehouse Family Centre
The Treehouse Family Centre is our flagship project, a therapeutic, child-focused space designed to support families during difficult transitions such as separation, conflict, trauma, or court involvement.
It offers structured, neutral environments where children feel safe, and where parents can rebuild trust and connection.

Why we exist
The Samuel Lawson Foundation emerged from a profound personal loss. When baby Samuel passed away, our founder discovered a calling to help families facing their own difficult seasons. Today, his legacy guides our mission to create safe, structured, and restorative spaces where families can rebuild connection and stability.
