Stark County Family Council
Resource Details
The Stark County Family Council coordinates help for children and families between the hundreds of child and family service organizations who specialize in specific needs across Stark County.
Each of these organizations focus on single issues, such as mental health, developmental disabilities, education, substance abuse, child welfare, juvenile justice, etcetera. While each agency functions independently, many of them are serving the same families and deal with similar issues.
The Stark County Family Council was created to open dialogue among service organizations and the families they care for to stimulate a broader awareness of important child and family issues. Working together, we develop, implement and evaluate coordinated responses to these issues. In addition, the Family Council provides a public forum for families, organizations and community members to meet on a regular basis to share information, highlight community activities and coordinate planning and program efforts.
