Family & Children First Council


Family and Children First provides an opportunity for systems to collaborate in ways that remove barriers for child and family leading to children being successful at home, in school, and in their community.

Vision
Mercer County Family and Children First Council (FCFC) believes that families are our community’s most important resource.  Families must be respected, valued, and encouraged to build upon their strengths.  We promote service to children and families by linking children in one system of care to other systems of care.  A service coordination planning process provides an opportunity for systems of care to collaborate in ways that remove barriers to child and family success.
