Building Blocks Family Outreach is a subsidiary of Kids Action Program. We offer a variety of family resources within the Hants North catchment area via community outreach and in home consultation.
Connections Beyond Tomorrow: Building Blocks Family Outreach is pleased to have partnered with National Crime Prevention to deliver the first Canadian Connections Beyond Tomorrow program. This innovative program links young families with older citizens in the community for sharing of life skills and pooling of resources. The goal of this program is to create a more empathetic society and lasting relationships between the generations. Bridging the generation gap will prevent isolation and encourage understanding within our communities, thus creating a positive community experience for everyone.
