The NFSTAC Team

The NFSTAC is led by the National Federation of Families, a family-run organization, in partnership with subject matter experts that includes families and family leaders and other such partners like: Partnership to End Addiction, C4 Innovations, SAFE Project, and Boston University. The Center’s approach is anchored by the underlying principle that families play a vital role in supporting their children and are the experts regarding their family support needs.
