Family Action's Building Bridges services work with the whole family unit and seek to meet the individual needs of each family member, supporting the need of the adult(s) in their role as a parent(s) and responding to the related but separate needs of the children. The approach promotes the involvement of other agencies and encourages them to work together and coordinate their services. Download the Building Bridges Evaluation.
