Access Services is a non-profit committed to building stronger communities by empowering individuals to achieve wholeness and belonging. Serving eastern Pennsylvania since 1976, we provide community support for adults, children, families, individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, behavioral health, and housing.
We believe in providing person-centered services that meet people’s unique needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we ask, “How can we serve this person better?” This mindset has allowed us to grow from a small group of social workers to over 600 passionate staff members dedicated to strengthening our communities.
We are adaptable and always look for ways to meet specific community needs. If we can’t provide a solution, we connect individuals with our community partners and resources. By building strong partnerships, we create vibrant communities and lasting support for those in need.
Please join us as we discuss a variety of topics in the human services fields and how our communities can be strengthened as we all work together.
