FTAC maintains its 20-year tradition of providing a family perspective to advocacy, by serving on all DHB/IDS committees dealing with services and/or policy where we are invited. This has included providing support to the DBH Legislative Work Group. On a continuing basis, we also provide policy and advocacy updates to families and family serving agencies, especially at regular Family Resource Network Meetings (FRN). Also, legislative alerts and policy updates are shared with FRN members, DBH staff, and other interested parties in the City and across the Commonwealth on a regular, meeting by meeting, basis.
