Family Strengths Network

Family Strengths Network is in jeopardy of losing critical financial support from Los Alamos County. Let your voice be heard! Remind Los Alamos County why FSN is important to you and to the community.

Quick ways you can encourage Los Alamos County to fund FSN:

Share your family’s support via Public Comment for the Los Alamos County Council Session  on June 9. Tell them why you feel it is important to have FSN in our community even if your own children are grown. Please do this even if you have supported FSN through public comment recently i.e. the Budget Hearing, etc. FSN will share separate guidelines on public comment in an upcoming post.

To make sure your voice is heard at the County Council Meeting please use this email

lacmanager@lacnm.us and put “Public Comment” in the Subject line. Body of email should include name and address.

Tell them why FSN is important to you:

  • Have your children tell them why FSN is important to them
  • Send videos starring your children, photos of hand-written notes, stories of your time at FSN
  • Share your FSN stories even if you don’t live in Los Alamos anymore. It’s important for people to see how FSN has helped shaped families over the years!
  • Share about FSN in hashtags, in stories, and in quotes on social media with #thisismyfsn and #losalamoscounty
  • Share your pictures at FSN
  • Explain why FSN matters to you and your family
  • Share videos with you/your children
  • Write letters to the editor in support of FSN
  • Los Alamos Daily Post: caclark@ladailypost.com
  • Los Alamos Reporter: maire@losalamosreporter.com
  • Los Alamos Monitor: lamonitor.com/contact
  • Share our Facebook Event – don’t just share, but invite everyone you know in the area that needs to know about this…and that is everyone here, now, or previously!
  • Change your Facebook profile photo using the FSN filter:  

From your computer:

  • hover over your profile pictures
  • click “update”
  • choose “add frame”
  • type “Family Strengths Network” or “#thisismyFSN”
  • click on frame selection and choose application length

  • choose “Add Frame”
  • type “Family Strengths Network” or “#thisismyFSN” in the “Search frames” box at top of box
  • tap on specifications to choose application length

Again, individually invite your local friends to this event which is the single best way to get the word out on Facebook.
