COMMUNITY COLLABORATION for CHILDREN
COMMUNITY COLLABORATION for CHILDREN
Community Collaboration for Children (CCC) supports families and communities in three ways:
- Facilitating a Regional Network of community partners who tackle child abuse traumas in their community
- Holding Parent Engagement Meetings with parents and school officials to address chronic absenteeism
- Providing In-Home Services for families who are struggling with the challenges of parenting.
CCC serves families in Kenton, Campbell, Boone, Pendleton, Grant, Gallatin, Carroll, Owen, Scott, Bourbon, Harrison, and Nicholas counties.
Regional Network is a group of community members. It includes parents, school staff, and people who work with children and families. The group meets five times a year for training and to talk about ways to prevent child abuse and neglect. They also decide how to use funding, what programs to offer, and plan activities for Child Abuse Prevention Month events.
Parent Engagement Meetings help parents figure out what is keeping their child from going to school. Together, we make a plan to help the child attend school more often. These meetings are set up by the school. They include the parent, a PEM Facilitator, and a school staff member.
In-Home Services are short-term services that take place in your home. We work with your family for up to 12 weeks. We help you build skills like parenting and problem-solving so your family can feel stronger and more confident. We also help connect you to helpful programs and resources in your community. Families can be referred by schools, community agencies, or other helpers. You can also sign yourself up for services.

This program is supported by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services with federal funding from the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) Grant.
These services are completely voluntary so if a family is referred to and meets the service requirement, they always have the option of choosing to reject the offer of services with no explanation. In addition, these programs are designed to provide families with assistance necessary to improve family functioning, prevent child welfare involvement, and address the children’s physical, mental, emotional and educational needs.
