LCT Members consisted of the following agencies: Department of Social Services, Department of Juvenile Services, Eastern Shore Psychological Services, Somerset County Core Service Agency, Somerset County Health Department, Department of Rehabilitative Services, Governor's Office for Children, Maryland Coalition for Families, and Somerset County Public Schools.
