The Tuscarawas County Family & Children First Council is an organization of parent representatives and public and private agencies who believe that children and families are our county’s most valuable resource and worth the investment of our time and efforts.

Member agencies provide many types of services to families and children including: health and safety, teenage pregnancy prevention, child abuse prevention, parent education, mental health, child youth services,
combating substance abuse, education to strive for self-sufficiency, and education for living a quality life.

The agencies and parent representatives who belong to TCFCFC have agreed to work toward providing all families and children with the resources to make family life and children’s futures the best they can be.

Our agencies have pledged that services will be available and accessible to all who qualify, provided
effectively and to the highest standards possible, and performed without costly duplication.
