Putting
the Puzzle Together:
Expanding
Snohomish County Partnerships
In
an era of decreasing resources, it is more important than
ever to make sure that clients in need of social services
have the ability to get the help they need. One way
to ensure that clients are connected to the services they
require is by making meaningful referrals to providers who
can best serve each specific need.
Referrals
work best when state and local government agencies,
non-profit organizations, social service providers, and
educational institutions know about the services offered
by other agencies in our community.
And in our busy work environment, it is often difficult
to find time to learn about other agencies.
The
Solution? The Snohomish County Agency Resource Fair.
