Blending Advocacy and Support: The Power of Peer and Family-Run Organizations as Agents of Change
Across the country, we are witnessing a troubling resurgence of calls to return to mass institutionalization—a failed and deeply harmful approach that once separated families, stripped individuals of dignity, and diverted resources away from community‑based solutions. This renewed push toward institutional care, driven by workforce shortages and gaps in effective treatment, threatens to reverse decades of progress. To address this issue and as part of our yearlong strategic vision, NFF is hosting a 5-part webinar series.
Our third webinar "Blending Advocacy and Support: The Power of Peer and Family-Run Organizations as Agents of Change" will be held on Wednesday, July 15th at 2pm et. This webinar will capture the power of peer and family-run organizations as agents of change and how they balance their dual roles as advocates and providers.
