What's it all about?

We all know how we feel when we are loved, listened to and alongside people who care. By simply being alongside families we can see and feel the importance of having human connections. Some families have very little family supports or friendships groups and can therefore be very isolated. They may face hardships or difficulties alone without understanding that other people are in the same situation.
