About Us
Support | Education | Advocacy
Allegheny Family Network is a “Family Run” non-profit organization serving Allegheny County.
As a “Family Run” organization AFN is staffed by family members (parents or caregivers) with lived experience who have raised or are raising a child with mental health or emotional needs.
Fifty one percent of our Board of Directors are Family Members, one hundred percent of our Parent Advisory Board are Family Members, and all of the staff from the Chief Executive Officer to the direct support staff are Family Members.
PARENT ADVISORY BOARD
Allegheny Family Network's Parent/Caregiver Advisory Board provides unique insights and understanding that can illuminate the complex situations faced by parents raising children with emotional and behavioral challenges.
The board is responsible for providing recommended guidance on the organization's strategic direction and encouraging meaningful engagement with parents. This includes setting goals, assisting with policy development, giving parent/caregiver-centered feedback, and ensuring that the needs and concerns of parents/caregivers are actively considered in the organization's decision-making processes.
