About Us
Our Beginning
The Somerset County Local Management Board (SCLMB) was established in January 1997 in response to the State’s desire to transform Maryland’s human service delivery system for children and families.
Based on the premise that local stakeholders are in the best position to understand their community’s needs, the LMB’s were given authority to plan, implement, and monitor a system of care to children and families in their communities.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote a safe, healthy and stable environment for all Somerset County children and families by facilitating comprehensive systems of education, health and human services through public and private interagency collaboration.
Our Vision
We envision an equitable Somerset County where everyone works together to ensure all families are healthy, safe and supported.
