Building on the momentum of the Together for Families Biennial Conference and recognizing the growing need for peer connection in the family support field, we’re excited to introduce the Family Support Summits in 2025! These one or two day events, held throughout the year, will provide a dedicated space to connect with peers, learn from national leaders, and dive into the topics that matter most to you.

Two-Day Fall Family Support Summit

October 22-23, 2025 11:00am-5:00pm ET

​

The Fall 2025 Family Support Summit will spotlight three of the most requested and timely areas from NFSN Members and training participants:

  • Father Engagement

  • Parent Leadership

  • Program Sustainability

​​

Program sustainability is more important than ever in 2025 to ensure essential programming continues. At this Summit, it will be woven throughout the themes of father engagement and parent leadership, underscoring how elevating family voices and strengthening community partnerships directly contribute to long-term impact. 

 

Sessions will equip participants with concrete sustainability strategies such as blending and braiding funding streams, engaging the private sector, grant writing, and positioning programs to remain strong and effective into the future.

 

Over two days, family support and strengthening professionals from across the country will come together for keynotes, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking panels. This is a unique opportunity to learn from national leaders and peer practitioners, deepen your practice, and return home better prepared to support families through community-centered, culturally grounded, and sustainable approaches.

 

The Family Support Summit is part of a national movement to ensure every family thrives. NFSN is proud to connect leaders, lift parent and community voices, and transform systems, rooted in the strengths of families and communities nationwide.
