PURPOSE

Our Reason

The Washington County SOC structure enables the convening of the

stakeholders and partners that create Washington County’s System of

Care (SOC). The SOC framework is a coordinated network of services and

supports that are organized to meet the physical, mental, social, emotional,

educational, and developmental needs of youth and their families.

To be successful, Washington County stakeholders must partner with all

child-serving agencies within the community. This is an opportunity for our

community to work together to promote health and wellness.

We seek to share responsibilities and resources to best support our

community members.
