Service Coordination and High-Fidelity Wraparound

These voluntary, team-based planning processes are child-centered and family-focused, and build on the strengths and needs of the child and family to guide the types and mix of services to be provided. It is critical that services and supports are responsive to the cultural, racial, and ethnic needs and beliefs of the family. To refer a family to Licking County’s CFFC Service Coordination/High Fidelity Wraparound process, contact the Multi-Systems Services Supervisor, Melanie Fling, at 740-670-8916.

Licking County Children and Families First Council's Early Childhood Clinical Committee (ECCC) created two videos to
help provide an explanation of what our Clinical Committees
can do for the community.  

  • If a practitioner or provider needs resources to support a family, they are invited to come to a meeting and
    brainstorm with our ECCC or older youth Clinical
    Committee members. This second video is a mock consultation designed to familiarize you with the process
    so that you are more likely to request a consultation and
    feel confident in explaining the process to the family.
