WHO WE ARE: With YOU, We make a
difference
The Family & Youth Roundtable (FYRT) is an independent family and youth led
organization.
The foundation of our work is to build an interconnection between the families and youth receiving services and the
public child-family serving agencies that serve our communities. Public agencies such as: Children’s Mental Health,
Juvenile Justice, Education and Child Welfare
Our core
value is a genuine belief in partnership and engagement of diverse perspectives. In each perspective there is a
belief that might translate as a benefit for many. We believe this because we are family and youth, who have
received services, we know that partnering with our public and provider partners will strengthen families, build
strong communities and improve outcomes.
Over the
past year we have engaged in over 652 partnership activities with the public providing agencies. We have been
able to accomplish this by providing a hub to support and amplify our partnership and the concerns and success
of family and youth recieving services from public systems.
Some of
What We Do:
·
Training of
Family and Youth on how to utilize their life experience to assist other families in navigating the system and
overcoming their challenges. Furthermore, our
workshops develop community leadership skills that allow family and youth partners to become Partnership Brokers, which enhances recipients of public services
outcomes.
