The Stark County Community Mental Health Board continues its support and commitment to the success of the Stark County Family Council. The Family Council is a model of collaboration among Stark County's child and family serving organizations that has led to the development of a growing array of flexible services for children and their families.

This collaborative community infrastructure enables systems and families to come together to strategically plan for improved service provision.

The guiding principles of family centered practice and community based service delivery have provided the foundation for the development of a variety of services and supports which include:
diagnostic and evaluation services; intensive home-based services; and family respite care.

Vigorous efforts are in place to measure the impact of this collaboration as well as to identify ways to continually improve.
