Family Support Council
A program which is designed to support families must also include families as an integral part of the decision-making process in order to ensure that the program is responsive to family needs. Families have been provided a formalized means by which to provide guidance and assistance to the Community Centered Board (CCB) regarding the Family Support Services Program (FSSP).
"Family Support Council" means the local group of persons within the designated CCB service area who have been charged with the responsibility for providing guidance and assistance to the CCB for the implementation of the FSSP. FSSP is designed to maximize local flexibility, control and responsibility (reference C.R. S. 27-10.5-405 & 407, DDS rule 1.2.14, 9.1.3)
