Overview 

The Human Services Team vision is to create a thriving community where every family and person, is safe, healthy, and connected.  We do this by building partnerships and maximizing resources that focus on prevention and intervention for vulnerable citizens to be safe, healthy and connected. 

There are three work groups within the Human Services Team: child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, and teen sexual health. See below for each work group's goals.

"Human services are the people and organizations who provide goods, services and relationships to persons in need, addressing strategies that support prevention and personal wholeness."

Work Groups

Each work group has unique goals that we hope to accomplish as we collaborate together.

CHILD ABUSE & NEGLECT

Identify gaps and barriers to services and increase resources for adult and child victims of abuse and neglect, as demonstrated by an increase in the number of residents accessing related services by 2020.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Decrease the percent of domestic violence abuse charges being dropped by victims from 43% to 33%.

TEEN SEXUAL HEALTH

Reduce the average number of sexual partners and sexual debut among teens. (Baseline measures are being established for teen sexual health).
