Summer is a time to create moments of joy, and it's often the simple things that bring us joy. Whether it is something you can do alone or with others, we hope you take time this summer to create memories you can enjoy in years to come.

Community Voices is
connecting with parents and caregivers at the Canal Market
Community Voices members are excited to spread the word about their group. Through the generosity of the Mental Health and Recovery Board of Licking and Knox County, the group is able to have a presence at Newark's Canal Market to let parents and caregivers know about the support they offer and resources available to families of children with needs in areas such as mental health, developmental disabilities, juvenile justice, school, child protection, health, etc.
Licking County Children and Families First Council's 2023-2025 Shared Plan provides an agenda for Council members in our work to achieve better results for families and children. Our priorities:
Parent and family voice
Service Coordination and Wraparound services
Trauma Informed Care
Collaborative, community-based early interventions
Licking County Children and Families First Council is a funded partner of United Way of Licking County.
Other funders include our Council partners, state allocations and grants. In-kind support from our local partners increases our capacity to coordinate services for children and families.
