Services may be provided either directly by department personnel, and/or through collaborations or contracts with other community agencies.
Human Services aids individuals and families through programs to protect adults and children when most in need. Services provided through this department also assist youth/families in properly handling family and community conflicts and may assist in helping people become employed.
