How the Program Works


A counselor will help identify resources to fit the dependent's need. Whenever possible, you will be provided with names and telephone numbers of at least three available options, suitable for the dependent's age, in locations, and with hours of operation, as convenient as possible for your family. These referrals will usually be provided within three working days after receiving your initial call.
