Brighter Futures
Brighter Futures (BF) is an early intervention program which aims to support mums, pregnant mums, dads and children from birth to 8 years of age by identifying and building on their family's strengths. This program is administered by the Consortium of Neighbourhood Centres – Far North Coast , and in the Tweed Shire, is placed at the Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre (PBNC). BF Family Development Workers support families by: linking them with other services they may need; helping them to access quality children's services; helping with transport; running parenting programs; and making home visits. People eligible for this program will have children from birth to 8 years of age and present with any number of challenges in life, including: a lack of support from family or friends; feelings of isolation; needing help with parenting or supervision; mental health issues; learning difficulties or behaviour problems; drug or alcohol problems; violence in the family; problems managing child behaviour.
If you would like to know more about this program, ring the BF staff at PBNC BF Outlet on 02 6676 2277.
