About Us
Our Mission:
Our mission is to build strong, resourceful families and resilient children by sharing knowledge, resources, referral to services, direct support and training; with a focus on building a culture of parents and youth as mentors, partnerships within the community and collaborations with systems of care.
What We Do:
Serving Bucks County families who have a child or adolescent that struggles with emotional or behavioral issues, Bucks LIFE works closely with families to offer support along with informational resources and referral services.
Our powerful support groups and workshops provide families with opportunities to share common concerns – with day and evening availability to serve both full-time parents as well as professionals.
In addition to working with local child-serving systems and supporting various projects, we also offer a lending library of books, videos, newsletters and other helpful resources.
