Service Coordination
Values of the Ohio Family and Children First Council Values outlined by the Ohio Family and Children First continue to positively influence Ohio's policy regarding families and their children.
These same values, outlined below, also guide the Highland County Family and children First Council in our commitment to providing Highland County families better access to services and effective Service Coordination:
*Children have the right to be nurtured and protected in a stable family environment.
*When children are at risk of harm, the community has the responsibility to intervene.
*Families are our community's most important resource and must be respected, valued, and encouraged to build upon their strengths.
*The racial, cultural and ethnic heritage of children and the neighborhoods where they live are respected and supported as strengths. Ethnic and racial child-rearing practices are valued.
*Families have the right and responsibility to participate in identifying their
concerns, priorities, and needed resources.
*Families have a right to individualized service provision that addresses the multiple needs of their children.

HIGHLAND COUNTY SERVICE COORDINATION MECHANISM
HOW CAN WE HELP?
If a family is in need either because they are have a child who is classified as unruley, or their child is diagnosed either with a developmental delay or mental health diagnosis, or their child is medically fragile, we are able to offer service coordination that will enable the family to meet with all the services that could help them at one time rather than going to meet with all the agencies seperately.
While agencies/organizations can refer families to service coordination, families can also contact Danielle Ratcliff at 614-989-9642 to be refered for service coordination.
