Equity Statement

Diversity and Teamwork is one of the organizational values that was first adopted by the Fannin County Children's Center in 2006 and has been reaffirmed by our board several times since then. We value diversity and the strengths each person has to offer and we believe that by working together, everyone achieves more. Systemic racism and injustice are complex challenges in our community and country. While child abuse happens among people of all races, religions and economic situations, we do know that black children are overrepresented in all stages of the child welfare and foster care systems. We are committed to pursuing diversity, equity, justice and cultural competence to ensure that we provide high quality, culturally competent services to all children, youth and families we serve.
