Partnerships with respected health organizations has enabled the Society for Family Health (SFH) to expand its New Start services. While SFH runs New Start services directly in some areas, in other areas our partners manage New Start centres under franchising agreements.
By selecting our partners carefully, providing clear service guidelines and offering quality training to staff members of our partners, we are able to ensure that our services operate in a similar way, to the same high standards, no matter where they are offered.
