We at the Children's Services Council of Broward County care about the health and safety of our community, staff, and providers. Accordingly, in an effort to help control the spread of the COVID-19, our building is closed to the public until further notice. As staff works remotely, please be assured that we will continue to work diligently in support of the children and families of Broward and the child serving community. Please search this website and our social media platforms @cscbroward for continuous updates as well as resources and information that help our community more easily navigate these challenging times.
