Family Networks (like AYFN) across the country

Links and listings to 42 state networks.

Each family network assures that when a parent, grandparent, foster parent or youth makes a call to a network, the person who answers the phone has first-hand knowledge of the challenges of raising a child with an emotional or behavioral challenge. They know the resources for help in their state.

Each is unique in its approach of providing opportunities for families, service providers and systems of care to work on family partnership efforts. Some have support groups, youth groups, theater groups, classes, one-to-one help and leadership training. Use the links below to find a network in your area.
