Common questions

How do I know if my family is a fit?

The best next step is to reach out. Bright Light can help clarify whether current services may be a fit and what options are available.

Do I need to know exactly which service I need before I contact you?

No. This page is designed for families who know they need support but are not yet sure which program or pathway applies.

Are services free?

That depends on the service and support arrangement. Exact funding and cost details should be confirmed directly with the Bright Light team.
