Who We Are
About Us
Established in 1993, Franklin County Family and Children First Council (FCFCFC) has long-served as the hub for all child and family serving systems in the county. The Council is made up of a diverse group of partner agencies who inform, lead, and continually adapt the organization based on the needs of families within the county.

Through a commitment to developing trauma competent, relationship-based services, FCFCFC aims to equip children, youth, families and community partners with new skills and foster a sense of hope and resiliency.
