Mission Statement:
Established by law in 1992, the Family Policy Council (FPC) of Washington State is charged with making systemic changes to improve outcomes for children and families.
One of the Council's main activities is working with the State's Community Public Health and Safety Networks to prevent important social problems such as child abuse and youth substance abuse. These networks are community-based, volunteer boards, developed to give local communities more autonomy, resources to help improve the lives of children & families in their communities, and provide recommendations for policy changes to improve state and local child and family serving systems.
