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.
