Oregon Family Support Network’s
Community Advisory Council!
What is a Community Advisory Council (CAC)?
Oregon Family Support Network’s (OFSN) Community Advisory Council is a working model of family-driven care. We are a dynamic group of parents and caregivers from diverse communities throughout the state working in collaboration with OFSN’s Board of Directors to understand and elevate the real-time experiences of families maneuvering Oregon’s child- and youth-serving systems.
Why do we need a CAC?
Because every family deserves to be heard and understood!
Who is included?
Parents, caregivers, and those who support them.
When will the CAC meet?
Monthly: Second Tuesday 6:00-8:00 pm on Zoom
