About National Federation of Families

The National Federation of Families (NFF) is the nationwide advocacy organization with families as its sole focus, playing an important role in helping parents, caregivers, and families whose loved ones are impacted by mental health and/or substance use disorders during their lifetime. The NFF hosts the only national conference that brings together families, caregivers, the family peer workforce, community leaders, providers, partners, and legislators. Its annual conference generates a large amount of discussion on current challenges and trends pertaining to families and the health of their loved ones, from the perspective of a family-driven approach.

Its emphasis on advocacy offers families a voice in the formation of national policy, services, and supports for their loved ones. Affiliates and partners of the NFF are organizations that support our mission and the interests of all families. Mental health and substance use disorders cut across all income, educational, geographical, and religious groups. Learn more about membership at: https://www.ffcmh.org/membership.
