About Us
Working together to build strong, healthy, self-sufficient families in Terrell County.
Terrell County Family Connection Collaborative streamlines resources and provides all children and families with the opportunities to become self-sufficient and to grow and develop educationally, socially, physically, and economically.
We do that by addressing the root causes of problems, building on cultural and other strengths, pooling resources, engaging an extraordinary diversity of community members, and committing to a long-term process of planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Using a family-centered approach, schools, health and human service agencies, business, the faith community, law enforcement, nonprofit organizations, civic clubs, and others work together with families, focusing on academics, physical and mental health, nurturing parenting, economic success, and community service. We tap existing resources, streamline systems to be more efficient and effective, and initiate new projects to improve the lives and conditions of families in Terrell County.
The Future
Our success is our partners’ success – we bring them together, they develop and implement the strategies. Our most important partners are the families whose children we serve.
Please join with us to achieve our goal: to broaden partnerships and support activities to improve community and civic health.
