The National Federation of Families has affiliates and partners all across the country, providing our ground work in the communities that you may live in. Take a moment to see what affiliates may be in your area and reach out to them to become involved in their activities. This is one of the best ways you can support the work that we do for families whose children experience mental health and/or substance use challenges during their lifetime. If there isn't an affiliate in your locale, we encourage you to consider starting one. If you are interested in learning more about what it takes to start a family-run and youth-driven organization, please feel free to contact us.

 

Additionally, our mailing list has more than six thousand members nationwide committed to supporting children with mental health and substance use needs - and their families. These individuals come from all walks of life and represent a wide variety of individuals: youth, family members, clinicians, government officials, etc. Each plays a vital role - we look to our diverse membership to help spread the positive message that children - across the life span - with mental health and/or substance use challenges and their families can build upon their strengths to become resilient and successful in their everyday lives. We would love for you to sign up to join our free mailing list and begin following us on social media today.
