The Arizona Council of Human Service Providers
The Arizona Council of Human Service Providers has been a statewide voice for behavioral health, child welfare, and juvenile justice providers since 1986. AVANT joined the Arizona Council in 2020. As a statewide trade association, we represent the interests of human service agencies by providing legislative and administrative advocacy on a local, state, and national level. 

Collectively we can do so much more than working in isolation.  We are a member driven organization committed to creating an environment that promotes and maintains a comprehensive continuum of services to support and improve the lives of Arizona’s diverse populations—children, adults, and families.  The Arizona Council provides training, resources, research, policy analysis and advocacy, and opportunities to directly impact public policy on a local, state, and national level.  Together we can address gaps in services and funding, and work to improve access to quality behavioral health, child welfare, and juvenile justice services for individuals and families in Arizona.  The Arizona Council collectively addresses issues of common concern, such as Value Based Purchasing and System Transformation.

​The Judson Center
Judson Center is a non-profit human service agency that provides compassionate, comprehensive services to children and families throughout southeast Michigan. 

Since opening its doors as the Detroit Baptist Children’s Home in 1924, the Judson Center has grown to provide services to over 10,000 children, adults, and families each year. Since then, the agency has evolved into a comprehensive, multi-faceted, community based human service center — one that has been nationally recognized for fostering independence through innovative programs, and for empowering children of all ages and their families to live the best lives possible. The Judson Center has been changing fates and restoring childhoods for children who have been abused and neglected, and others who are challenged by developmental disabilities, severe emotional impairments and autism spectrum disorder.

The Judson Center has remained responsive to these and other community needs by providing a range of innovative and quality services. We are a resource for healing and a leader in human services that delivers brighter futures for those we are privileged to serve.
