mission
The Council for Union County Families (CUCF) is dedicated to collaborative problem solving in order to assure that the local social services for families are planned, developed, and delivered based on a cooperative, coordinated, family-centered, culturally sensitive, and a community-based approach.
our priorities include
-
Enhance the operation and delivery of the full continuum of care.
-
Increase family stability and connection to community resources

Increase use of data to inform our work and share our story
honor
Exploring and honoring the experiences of those participating in our programs allows for a deeper understanding of what is important to the youth and families being served. In sharing their stories, families should feel affirmed, their knowledge valued, and their resilience recognized.
respect
Families should feel respected and appreciated from their first contact with Council for Union County Families.
responsive
When we focus on need, we can empower helpers to understand the “why” of a situation and adjust their response to the why. Our Coordinators work to understand what is beneath a situation. They use this understanding to build bridges with community and service providers along with the family to come up with new ways to respond to the underlying causes. This creates a responsive versus reactive system.
