DFS in Your Community
We have 28 field offices in 23 counties. To find out if we offer services to help you or your family, look at our DFS Programs Directory, a complete listing of our staff, our locations and our services to communities. It's updated just about every quarter with the last update being uploaded September 2010.
DFS licenses the state's 24-hour care facilities, which are places children and youth might be ordered to spend time to address behavioral and mental health issues. Sometimes those places are called group homes and residential treatment centers.
If you need help, and you can't find the resource you're looking for, please call:
