This site was created by the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services (TALS) in partnership with West Tennessee Legal Services.  Funding was provided through a grant from the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). LSC’s support for this website is limited to those activities that are consistent with LSC restrictions.

TALS partners with legal service providers to compile legal information on key issues.  TALS also partners with the National Association of Social Workers, TN Chapter, on content to strengthen the social services referral network to families and children statewide.  For feedback or questions about the project or the site, contact us at help@tals.org
