Many family situations present pressing challenges that affect everyone in them. 

They not only disrupt entire families; they can leave children without a stable or permanent home and can increase a child’s risk for struggles later in life – like mental illness, unemployment, even prison. Family challenges may also include managing work and home life, while also caring for an elderly family member locally or at a distance.
