Federation Of Families

The National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health, a non-profit organization based in Denver, Colorado, is dedicated to supporting families of children and youth facing emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. With a team of 14 employees, the organization works on a national level to address issues impacting these families. The National Federation focuses on empowering families by developing and implementing policies, legislation, funding mechanisms, and service systems that recognize the unique strengths each family brings. Through advocacy, they aim to give families a voice in shaping national policy, services, and support systems for children with mental health needs. The National Federation emphasizes serving a diverse range of families, recognizing that emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs affect individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of income, education, location, race, ethnicity, or religion. They support single parents, two-parent families, birth, adoptive, and foster families.
