The Tennessee Department of Human Services offers an extensive range of social services to a diverse group of almost two million Tennesseans across 95 rural and urban counties in our state. Our broad range of customers includes members of the blind, visual impaired, deaf and hard of hearing communities who attend our rehabilitation centers as well as custodial and non-custodial parents who participate in the child support program. Other customers include child care providers who may apply for licensures through TDHS. Still other customers include families living below the poverty line who may need assistance in obtaining nutrition or career development resources in order to move beyond their current circumstances. We serve these groups and more; however our goal is always the same: build strong families by connecting Tennesseans to employment, education and support services with a whole family approach.
