Human Services

APHSA educates members of Congress, the media, and the broader public on what is happening in the states around welfare, child welfare, health care reform, and other issues involving families and the elderly.

The World Wide Web promises to put the information nonprofits need at their fingertips. Swapping strategies with distant colleagues should take just a few clicks on the mouse.

It is a compelling vision -- but for most human services professionals, it`s not yet reality. Locating useful information on the Web today can consume too many valuable hours. A thousand uncoordinated web sites don`t create a community.

For more than a decade, HandsNet has worked to make online collaboration and information sharing a reality for the human services community. We empower organizations to effectively integrate new online strategies, strengthening their program and policy work on behalf of people in need.
