"Information and Referral (I&R) is the art, science, and practice of bringing people and services together. When individuals and families don't know where to turn, I&R is there for them."  

–Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS)

INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SPECIALISTS

All DDS I & R Specialists hold certifications from the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS), the internationally recognized professional credentialing program for community I & R providers. Certification consists of an initial exam and the completion of a minimum of 10 documented hours of continued training every two years.

DDS I & R Specialists are available by phone to confidentially discuss issues and concerns, provide information, assist with problem solving, and to refer to appropriate agencies or services as necessary. Use of a customized database allows for caller information to be tracked and stored for future reference and follow up calls.

Contact an I & R specialist: 1-888-285-3036

Office Hours:  9:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday - Friday
