Bridging Providers build on your family’s strengths and help you plan what you need for your child to bloom by anticipating and arranging services and supports in Washington County.
- Integrated Services – we have Infant and Family Support Specialists placed at a variety of locations in Washington County to allow families to access infant, child and family support services at their local health centers.
