Family Empowerment Network (FEN)
Peer Support, Education & Advisory Opportunities for Parents and Caregivers
Hillside Family of Agencies is Family-Driven with a deep understanding that parents and family members have a primary decision making role in the care of their own children as well as the policies and procedures governing care for all of our children. This includes:
- Choosing culturally and linguistically competent supports, services, and providers
- Setting goals
- Designing, implementing and evaluating programs
- Monitoring outcomes
- Partnering in funding decisions
Hillside’s Family Empowerment Network’s (FEN) mission is to empower families, strengthen the family voice and support our family-driven culture by providing peer support, learning and teaching opportunities, and partnerships between families and services providers.
