Child Link provides the following programs and services to children and youth in need of support.
At Child Link, we strive to make human services available to all children and youth who are in need of support.
The different child and family services provided by Child Link are designed to offer the proper support to children in need, depending on their specific situation.
The belief that different approaches produce more positive results is why Child Link has tailored its programs to provide resources that apply to the child or adolescent’s specific situation.
Our organization not only provides much-needed human services, but carries out a more compassionate mission for the foster care children we serve in our child care programs.
