Our Mission
Our mission is to nurture collaborative efforts by building bridges and networks between people and agencies who share a vision of a healthier community for children and families.

Established in 1994, we focus on prevention, coordination, and streamlining services to better meet the needs of children and families.

Prevention
Our focus on prevention comes from the belief that supporting families early on to prevent unstable situations or crisis strengthens families and builds healthier communities.

Coordination
Our focus on coordination comes from the belief that joint efforts result in greater impact. By allowing the collaborative to combine resources, while working together across the county, we can do things that no one entity could do alone.

Our Goals
The Anoka County Children and Family Council has two goals:

• Nurture collaborative efforts in Anoka County by building relationships and networks to support healthy families and communities.

• Support efforts to improve family and educational functioning while fostering a safe and stable environment for children.
