The Franklin County Children Services 2012 Resource Guide is a valuable directory of services for our families, social workers and community partners. This guide serves as one of many avenues the agency has implemented to demonstrate our commitment to protecting children by strengthening families.
The well-being of our children and the support of their families are the most important measures of a community's quality of life. This Resource Guide serves as a convenient tool for accessing vital information, services, and programs that will help benefit children and families throughout the community. If you need more information regarding an organization, click on the entry in the guide and if they have a website, you will be directed there. Click here to view and print the Resource Guide.
