• an activity

Outcome Framework
Family Support Packages are one optional element of the enhanced Whole Family support

They can be defined as a variety of small-scale services, activities, or interventions which
practitioners can utilise quickly and easily.

lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or questioning), and intersex young people and
their families / Interactive Therapeutic Approaches / Mediation /Counselling / Relationship
Support / Family Support Services / Introducing the idea of positive activities for families
and/ or individuals and encouraging participation/ Household Management etc.
