Services for Children and Youth in North Carolina

Children's health services are coordinated through the Children and Youth Branch in the North Carolina Division of Public Health. Services enhance health, growth and development of children, birth to twenty-one years, through increased access to health care, health promotion and prevention activities, and early identification, treatment and intervention. Whenever possible, services are offered within family-centered, community-based systems of care to assure optimum health and well-being of children including related services for adults that may affect their children's physical and behavioral health outcomes.
