Child Welfare Services

Whenever there is family instability, an increased risk of problems for children is almost sure to follow. The loss of income, substance use, catastrophic illness, divorce, incarceration, etc., can cause disruptions in the quality of life for most families. The odds for tipping the scales out of balance for fragile and at-risk families are even greater. We are committed to the well-being of children and their families. Working closely with Kid’s Central and the Department of Children and Families, our responsibilities encompass a wide range of services, including – among other things – assistance to families working to stay safely together or be reunited, foster care, and adoption.
