Mission Statement
The Elk County office of Children and Youth Services provides social services to children and their families from birth to 18 years. The Agency works with families who are experiencing problems related to the safety and well being of children and/or youth. With families as partners, the agency strives to assist members in effectively resolving difficulties. In the event of suspected child abuse or neglect, the Agency determines if an allegation is accurate, then takes steps to protect children when necessary.
Placement of children outside their home or community is an option when their safety cannot be assured. It is the Agency’s intent to support the family remaining intact whenever possible.
