Data brings into focus for us an accurate picture of our state by pointing out our strengths, our weaknesses, and trends we may not have noticed before. GaFCP empowers leaders across Georgia by making data accessible and providing practical tools, training, and technical assistance to support informed decision-making. We also serve as trusted experts on child and family well-being and community dynamics, sharing insights with state- and national-level audiences. We synthesize and interpret data into customized information and tools specific to our local Georgia Family Connection Collaboratives’ and partners’ needs.
KIDS COUNT
KIDS COUNT is a state and national effort to track the well-being of children. The state’s designated KIDS COUNT grantee, GaFCP compiles current, reliable data on child and family well-being in each of our state’s 159 counties.
Indicators of Child, Family, and Community Well-Being
We track indicators of child and family well-being because they help us understand how communities are doing, where we’re strong, and where we need to work to improve, so that all children, families, and communities in Georgia are healthy and thriving.
