The National Federation of Families is the nationwide advocacy organization with families as its sole focus, playing an important role in helping parents, caregivers, and families of children—of any age—whose lives are impacted by mental health and substance use challenges during their lifetime. This important work is supported largely by generous sponsors, supporters, and donors like you who contribute to our cause. Additionally, the National Federation of Families (NFF) provides the only National Certification for Family Peer Specialists™ (CFPS).
For the last 35 years, the NFF has brought families, parents, community leaders, providers, partners, and legislators together at our Annual Conference where we work to leverage our lived experience and learned solutions for the support and advancement of families impacted by mental health and/or substance use challenges during the lifetime of their children.
To accomplish this, we welcome a diverse array of voices of those with lived experience for attendees to learn from and alongside. We look forward to celebrating our 35th anniversary in Orlando, FL with you this year!
