is composed of a list of topics called keywords. Beneath each
keyword
is a list of agencies that provide services. These providers
incude
government entities, not-for-profit agencies and other health and
human
service organizations.
To use the directory, it is best to
familiarize
yourself with the keyword list. Choose "Keyword List" from the
directory
menu. This will allow you to view the entire list of keywords, scroll
through
the list, select the keywords that interest you and view the list of

the keyword or the first few letters of the keyword you wish to find,
then
click Go. The program will search the keywords and list those that match
your
request.
