Getting Help and Services for Families
 |
Raising children is a wonderful experience, but it can also be stressful.
|
|
When other stresses are added to the mix(financial difficulties, marital difficulties, single parenthood, etc.), parents can be stretched beyond their limits to cope.
|
|
When drug and alcohol abuse and/or mental illness is added to the mix, the situation can become dangerous for children.
|
|
Alexandria's Department of Human Services can help.
