Family Centered Services and Supports The Ohio Dept. of Mental Health has made funds available to counties for Family Centered Services and Supports (FCSS). The FCSS funds help maintain children and youth in their own homes and communities by providing non-clinical family-centered services and supports. Children and youth (0-21) must have multi-systemic needs. The child/youth is not necessarily involved in two or more systems, but the child's/youth's needs must involve more than one system. The youth/child does NOT have to have a behavioral health diagnosis. Family Centered Services and Supports funding only can be utilized for cases that have been approved under Montgomery County Family and Children First’s State-approved Service Coordination Mechanism. Montgomery County’s Service Coordination Mechanism is posted at: http://www.fcf.ohio.gov/contact-us/local-fcfs.dot?county=Montgomery Referrals under the County’s Service Coordination Mechanism are to be made using the following referral form found as Attachment B of the Montgomery County Service Coordination Mechanism: Service Coordination Referral Form (Attachment B) – Referral in Word (1997-2003 version) - Referral Template (easier to type) For more information about Family Centered Services and Supports, also see the State Family and Children First’s website at: http://www.fcf.ohio.gov/initiatives/system-of-care.dot Especially see:
