ADVOCACY | LONG ISLAND FAMILIES TOGETHER

Families Together collaborates with families, schools, policymakers and service providers to ensure families receive the services needed for their children. An annual legislative luncheon during session allows families to have the opportunity to voice their concerns and ideas with policymakers. The goal is to ensure that all children and youth have the support they need in order to succeed. The board and staff are made up primarily of family members and youth representing thousands of families from across the state whose children have been involved in many systems including mental health, substance abuse, special education, juvenile justice, and foster care.
