Northern NV Child and Adol Services

This is Nevada's Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS), a state agency that administers multiple programs serving children, adolescents, families, and crime victims. The organization operates child protective and welfare services across three regional areas: a rural region under state supervision and administration, and specialized departments in Clark and Washoe Counties. DCFS provides mental health services to children and adolescents through Southern Nevada Child and Adolescent Services and Northern Nevada Child and Adolescent Services in the two major urban areas. The agency also operates juvenile justice services for youth ages 12-21 committed for delinquent behavior or mental health treatment, victim assistance services for those affected by crime and domestic violence, and victim compensation programs providing financial aid for crime-related expenses. Additional programs include the Confidential Address Program for abuse victims seeking fresh starts and a Systems Advocate Unit for handling consumer and stakeholder inquiries.
