HRSA Features Two Ohio Families Supported by Ohio Family to Family

HRSA Features Two Ohio Families Supported by Ohio Family to Family

May 20, 2024

Ohio Family to Family (F2F) is dedicated to providing support and resources to families navigating health challenges. From understanding healthcare systems to peer and emotional support, F2F is there for every step of the journey.

People who staff these centers have the personal experience (or “lived experience”) to help families navigate complex—often disparate—challenges related to health, education, and social services. The staff are trusted sources of information and support in stressful times.

Both of these families have been supported by Ohio Family to Family and depict the value of F2F peer support:
