Families

The Different Types of Families

There are many different types of families. Your family might have one parent or several parents, you might have no siblings or you might have ten, you might live with step-parents or foster parents or with an aunt or uncle. No family is perfect. Being part of a family means that arguments happen and you try to work things out with love, understanding, and some work.

You have the right to live with your family as long as it's safe for you to do that. If you're not feeling safe at home, you have the right to tell someone about what's going on.
