From the beginning, collaboration has been a core value at ACS. The founders of our agency included a diverse group representing local government, police, health care, social work, schools and parents. This spirit of collaboration continues today, as ACS partners with public and private agencies to provide an integrated network of services for teens and families in our community. Over the past 34 years, ACS has helped over 30,000 teens and their families find their way through and beyond the challenging adolescent years.
