If you’re raising a child with emotional or behavioral challenges, you already know how confusing the systems around you can be. Schools, DCS, juvenile justice, insurance, therapists, IEPs: keeping track of who to call next can feel like a full-time job, on top of everything else a parent or caregiver is handling.  

The Statewide Family Support Network is here to walk that road with you. 

This free program connects parents and caregivers across Tennessee with the support, information, and training they need to advocate for their child and get real results. Whether you’re trying to secure services through your child’s school, navigate a DCS case, work through the juvenile justice system, or simply understand what options exist, our team helps you build the knowledge and confidence to move forward. 

What You Can Expect 

• One-on-one support from people who understand what you’re going through 

• Guidance navigating complex systems, including schools, DCS, and juvenile justice 

• Advocacy to help your family access the services your child needs 

• Training and information so you feel equipped, not just supported in the moment 

This is a partnership that helps you understand your options and offer support as you pursue them.
