What is a Family Network

A Family Network is a local community-driven group led by families. It connects families to each other and to helpful resources so they can feel supported, confident, and included in their community.

For families, this means:

• Help understanding what services are available and how to access them

• More confidence when advocating for their loved one

• Support from other families with shared experiences

• Less reliance on crisis services

For the Community

• Increase accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the community

• Connect families to resources and support

• Strengthen collaboration among community organizations
