Lifelong Links – building lasting relationships

Lifelong Links aims to build lasting relationships for young people in our care in Durham. It helps bring together people that you want to connect with. These can be people that you know well but have not seen in a while (like a previous foster carer, a teacher or neighbour), family members that you have lost contact with or even a family member that you have not met yet.

How Lifelong Links can help you

You will have your own independent Lifelong Links co-ordinator every step of the way that can help you find family and friends that care about you, who want to be there for you to turn to for support and will be that caring adult that makes a difference in your life.

You can find out more about your family history and find answers to some of the questions that you may have.

Working with you, your Lifelong Links co-ordinator will find, in a safe way, your family and friends, previous carers or professionals that you want to re-connect with and who you can turn to for long lasting support.

They can bring together those people you want in your life and to be able to turn to for support in adulthood in a Lifelong Links Family Group Conference, if that is what you want.
