What We Do

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services manages the delivery of health and human-related services for all North Carolinians, especially our most vulnerable people – children, elderly, disabled and low-income families. The Department works closely with health care professionals, community leaders, advocacy groups, local, state and federal entities and many other stakeholders to make this happen. Learn more about the department.

Local Social Services Office

Each county in North Carolina has a local social services agency available to answer questions. They should also be your first call if you suspect a child is being abused or neglected. We're here to help you find contact information for your local county office.
