Why FRWN?
Family report writing is one of the most complex roles in psychology and social work. Clinicians are asked to balance the needs of children, the expectations of the Family Court, and the realities of high-conflict disputes — often in isolation.
The Family Report Writers Network (FRWN) exists to change that. We are the only national professional community dedicated solely to clinicians preparing Family Reports and Child Impact Reports for the Family Court.
Our mission is simple: to provide the supervision, training, and collegial support you need to thrive in this challenging work.
