New Hampshire Partners in Service for Children, Youth and Families Founded in 1971

As a private, nonprofit trade association we strive to provide an opportunity for partnership, collaboration and networking with public and private community stakeholders. We are made up of human service agencies serving high-risk children, adolescents and families throughout the State of New Hampshire. New Hampshire Partners in Service (NHPS) is united in action to strengthen the ability of our members to provide quality care for children and their families.

When you care about the families in your community you can turn their pain into glimmers of hope and joy.

We are committed to a system of service delivery that is trauma informed, family driven and based on successful outcomes.

Together we can make the

impossible seem possible.

We have a history of strong ties and successful collaboration with multiple education and health department personnel. Our members are effective, responsive and accommodating in their approach.
