Families thrive when they have strong relationships, practical resources, and trusted places to turn. Together for Families 2026 brings together the people strengthening those supports in communities across the country.

Hosted by the National Family Support Network, this national virtual conference connects Family Resource Centers, FRC Networks, parent and family leaders, practitioners, researchers, funders, public partners, and others advancing Family Support.

​

Across three days, participants will explore practical strategies, emerging evidence, family and community leadership, and forward-looking approaches to strengthening quality practice, community-rooted innovation, and the systems, partnerships, and investments families need to thrive.

​

At a time of growing national recognition and bipartisan momentum for Family Resource Centers, Together for Families highlights the power of trusted community hubs, locally designed solutions, and shared responsibility for family well-being. Participants will explore how FRCs and Family Support strategies can reduce fragmentation, strengthen protective factors, expand access to support, and help families address challenges before they escalate.

​​

​​

Through practical workshops, featured conversations, community Bright Spots, and peer learning, participants will gain actionable strategies, build meaningful connections, and learn from national, state, local, and family leaders across the field.

​

Together for Families is held every even-numbered year, Tuesday through Thursday during the week following Canadian Thanksgiving and Indigenous Peoples’ Day/Columbus Day. The 2026 conference will be held virtually from October 20 through October 22, 2026.

​

Together, we are building a stronger future for Family Resource Centers, Family Support, and the families and communities they serve.​​​​
