Children's Services
The Human Services Agency’s (HSA) Children’s Services Division is a critical system for the intervention of child abuse and neglect, exploitation or parental absence in Washoe County.
HSA’s primary focus is protection and strives to achieve a permanent plan and placement that is best for the child. Most children are optimally cared for by their own family; therefore, HSA aims to build family strengths by providing parents with the assistance needed to promote nurturing homes, and to keep their children safe so that the family may stay together.
