Health Support Services
Health Support Services help individuals and families to recognize health
needs including those related to alcohol and drug abuse; to cope with
incapacities and limited functioning resulting from aging, physical
disability or handicap; and to choose, obtain and use resources from
public, private agencies or providers of health services.
Health Support Services help individuals and their families:
- recognize and understand health problems
- locate appropriate treatment
- identify ways to pay for needed care and or services
- cope with one or more disabling conditions and limited functioning
- avoid future health risks
- arrange out-of-home placement(s), when necessary
This includes enabling individuals and families to voluntarily limit
the size of their families by helping to prevent or reduce the incidents
of births out of wedlock through Family Planning Services. At the
option of the county, payment for medical services for non-therapeutic
voluntary
sterilization may also be available to eligible low-income individuals.

about Health Support Services and Family Planning Services, contact
your county department of social
services.
