The Gallia County Children and Family First Council
Gallia County Family and Children First Council is comprised of agencies from across the spectrum of family and children supports and services in Gallia County, Ohio. The Council is committed to providing coordinated services to all Gallia County families with children birth through age 21, addressing the needs of families that are not adequately addressed in traditional agency systems alone.
FCFC Service Coordination works within the local system of care, and provides a process for planning and collaboration that enhances individualized services and supports to families that have needs across multiple systems.
It is child-centered and family-focused, with the strengths and needs of the family guiding the types and mix of services to be provided.
The Council creates and facilitates a coordinated system of services that responds to the strengths and needs of our community. It is a partnership of public and private non-profit child and family-serving agencies and organizations committed to improving the well-being of children and families.

Any agency personnel or parent can make a referral to the coordinator. Referral documents are completed by the referring agency, parent, or as a joint effort. Completed packets are returned to the council coordinator by fax, mail, email, or in person.
How can a parent self-refer a child? Where can a parent get a self-referral form & who does the parent give it to when completed?

What happens if I disagree with a service coordination decision? How long does it take to get an answer when I disagree?
Gallia County FCFC has a dispute resolution process that is shared with the parent during the intake/referral process. If there is a disagreement with a service coordination decision that cannot be resolved among team members, the parent would follow the dispute resolution process. Upon filing a formal complaint, an investigation of the complaint will follow, with the Council Executive Committee issuing a written decision to the parent or custodian within 60 days.
