Traditionally, the State has defined Human Services as
mental health, substance abuse and developmental disabilities services, and has provided
program funding. Each of these areas has a designated County Coordinator who staffs
citizen advisory boards, helps with program planning, writes contracts and grants, and
oversees budgets. Most services are provided through private community organizations and
agencies under contract with the County.
Many would be surprised to know that hundreds of Island
County citizens are helped every year through these programs. Unless you have had personal
contact with someone who has been served by these programs, you may not even know of their
existence. However, if you've ever experienced a need in one of these areas, you know that
these services can literally be lifesaving for an individual or a family.
