The Bridging Families Program is committed to the safety, protection and wellbeing of children and young people, focusing on the holistic needs of families.
The program, based in Toowoomba, aims to work collaboratively with Toowoomba Child Safety Service Centres to help strengthen families and create positive, life-affirming change, and assist parents to provide a safe and protective environment for their children.
