Banner with the photos of families and children and the Family Voices tagline, Keeping families at the center of children's health care

Family Voices is a national nonprofit led by families and friends of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and disabilities.  We connect a network of family-led organizations across the United States that provide support to families of CYSHCN.

We promote partnership with youth and families at all levels of health care, from individual care to policy and decision-making, to improve policies and systems of care for children.

Do you have a child or teen who has special health care needs or disabilities? Find support in your local community.
