Building Direction for Families, Inc. (BDF) is the local Community Empowerment Area and Decategorization Project in Buchanan, Delaware, and Fayette Counties involving local
community members and early care, health, and education professionals in collaborative efforts to improve the lives of children and their families. BDF also supports the Community Partnerships for Protecting Children initiative, a state-wide effort to prevent child abuse.
Mission: All children beginning at birth, through age 18, will be healthy and successful.
Vision: Families are at the heart of our communities. We envision families growing and prospering in communities that promote family self-esteem, self-sufficiency, and self-determination.
These state supported initiatives encourage community people to develop strategies to reach these results for children and families. These results include:
Healthy Children
Children ready to succeed in school
Safe and supportive communities
Secure and nurturing families
Secure and nurturing child care environments
Stable, self-sufficient, and healthy young people
This site provides information on planning activities and services available that promote achievement of these results.
