Why care for families?

Family life is under pressure. The effects of family breakdown on society are well documented. In our workplaces, schools, hospitals, communities and neighbourhoods, the knock-on effects of family breakdown are seen every day.

But there is hope. Care for the Family helps married couples build stronger relationships. Parents in all kinds of family situations are encouraged to do the best possible job of the hardest job of all - being a mum or dad. And when families are torn apart through tragedy, Care for the Family stands alongside them, offering compassion, understanding and the hope to carry on.

Here are just some of the ways we support families:

• Networks and initiatives
• Events around the country
• Activity breaks
• Training initiatives like How to Drug Proof Your Kids
• Resources
