Respite
Options
Respite Options is a program
designed to prevent child abuse and neglect. During a stressful
or emergency family situation,
parents and guardians in Polk County can take advantage
of free, temporary respite care for infants through 5-year-old

and guardians can take a break and avoid family crisis situations.
