Federation of Families (FOF) Chapters are chapters established by families for families with the goal of creating a close-knit community that comes together to offer support, encouragement, education, and guidance to one another.  Each FOF Chapter has their own unique mission that is specific to the needs of their community.  FOF Chapters offer families the opportunity to get involved at local, state, and national meetings. Through these meetings families can share their thoughts regarding policies, behavioral health services offered, and support for children with mental health needs and their families. FOF Chapters have a core goal of working with families and other organizations to transform mental health care throughout the state and the country.  FOF Chapters began in  1989 by a group of 18 people who wanted to make a difference.  Georgia Parent Support Network is the State FOF Chapter. For information on joining a chapter or starting a chapter, please contact Anita Speed of Georgia Parent Support Network (GPSN) at Anita.Speed@GPSN.org.
