Children & Youth Services

Our mission is to provide professional social services in order to:

  • Protect the safety and welfare of children
  • Preserve, support and strengthen the family
  • Identify alternative care, a safe environment and a permanent home for those children unable to remain in their home

*If you are concerned about a child and want to make a referral, please call 717.240.6120 Monday - Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm or call Cumberland County Communications at 717.243.4121 from the Carlisle area; 717.238.9676 from the West Shore; 717.532.8878 from the Shippensburg area when the office is closed.

We prefer that you do not make a referral by email. We can provide better service if we can speak with you directly.
