Families First is a non-profit that assists over 40,000 families each year with solutions to improve wellbeing of children in jeopardy by empowering families.
Perpetual Learning teamed up with Families First to build a learning platform to help families cope better when
social issues arise, becoming more self-sufficient as a result.
