The Lake County Workforce Investment Board partnered with United Way of Lake County, the Lake County Board, the Lake County Health Department, along with other local corporations to release the Find Help in Lake County on-line guide to health and human services. This resource replaces the Directory of Lake County Human Services ("Redbook") that had been published by the Workforce Investment Board for many years. Individuals, families and service providers will be able to access and search the database of health and human service agencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Unlike printed directories that can become outdated quickly, the on-line directory allows agencies to directly update their information real-time.
