The Children's Services Council funds over 60 local programs to help kids and families in Palm Beach County, Florida. They spend about $140 million each year on programs that help pregnant women, babies, young children, and their parents. Their "Healthy Beginnings" programs include home visits to new parents, counseling for families dealing with stress or trauma, parenting classes to help moms and dads raise their kids better, and early help for children with developmental delays.
They also fund crisis hotlines, mental health services, and programs that teach teens how to make good choices. These programs help make sure more babies are born healthy, kids grow up safe, and families have the support they need. The council has been doing this important work for 40 years, working with many different agencies to provide direct services to families who need help the most.
