# Families

> Organize households, neighborhoods, maturity levels, and family mentorships.

**Families** groups members into households so care teams see the whole picture — who lives together, where they are in the community, and which families are mentoring others.

## How-to Guide

### Grid and map views

| View     | Best for                                                          |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Grid** | Scanning household cards with member counts and mentorship badges |
| **Map**  | Visualizing families by address when location data is present     |

Use the side **Filters** panel (or mobile sheet) to combine neighborhood and maturity filters. Active filter chips appear above the results.

### Family card details

Each family record includes:

* **Household name** and optional photo
* **Members** with roles (Head, Spouse, Child, etc.)
* **Neighborhood** tag for regional care teams
* **Maturity level** for discipleship tracking
* **Mentorship** links — families mentoring or being mentored

### Mentorship connections

From a family detail page, use **Mentor Family** to link an experienced household with one that is newer in the community. Mentorship counts appear on list cards so coordinators spot gaps quickly.
