Hancock County Family First Council and Help Me Grow

What is the Family and Children First Council? 

The Hancock County Family & Children First Council consists of representatives from human services, mental health, schools, local government, the court system, youth services, mental retardation and developmental disabilities, United Way, parent representatives, and others.

The Council provides integration and planning to improve community-based, family centered services.

The Council serves to bring service providers together, cut through red tape, increase local flexibility, and focus programs on families and children (rather than bureaucracy).
