Parent & Family Network
Empower your loved one’s journey with meaningful engagement
Welcome to the Network
The PFN is a supportive community designed to connect and empower families whose loved ones receive services from Springbrook. No enrollment necessary! As a family member or friend of someone receiving services through Springbrook, you are automatically a member of the PFN.
The PFN brings families together through shared experiences, meaningful connections, and opportunities to strengthen our collective voice. Through PFN Chapters, volunteer opportunities, newsletters, educational programs, and a wide range of events and activities, families and friends can stay informed, engaged, connected, and involved.Â
Network Events
Check out the Parent & Family Network’s (PFN) past and upcoming workshops, programs, and activities. We hope to see you at the next one!
