Children face a wide range of challenges that can affect their well-being, including family stress, behavioral health needs, and social or economic barriers. We offer a comprehensive set of services designed to support children and their families, helping them thrive while strengthening family connections and promoting long-term success.

How We Support Our Community
Child Welfare Services: We protect children from abuse and neglect, provide foster care and adoption support, and work to strengthen families through prevention and intervention programs.

Behavioral Health and Support Services: Our programs connect children and families with mental health, counseling, and substance use resources, addressing challenges that impact overall well-being.

Family Support and Case Management: Case managers and support teams work directly with families to identify needs, connect with community resources, and create individualized plans that promote stability and positive outcomes.

Community Partnerships: We collaborate with schools, healthcare providers, nonprofits, and local agencies to ensure children and families receive comprehensive, coordinated support that addresses multiple aspects of their lives.

Helping Children and Families Thrive

By combining protective services, behavioral health support, and case management, we help children and families overcome immediate challenges while building a strong foundation for safety, stability, and success. Washoe County Children’s Services is dedicated to providing the resources, guidance, and care needed to ensure every child can grow, learn, and thrive in a healthy, supportive environment.
