They can be defined as a variety of small-scale services, activities, or interventions which practitioners can utilise quickly and easily.

Examples of packages include, but are not limited to: Individual Mentoring / Support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or questioning), and intersex young people and their families / Interactive Therapeutic Approaches / Mediation /Counselling / Relationship Support / Family Support Services / Introducing the idea of positive activities for families and/ or individuals and encouraging participation/ Household Management etc.
