Child Welfare Services

Child Welfare Services are governmental and community programs designed to ensure the safety, well-being, and healthy development of children. They intervene when children's rights or needs are at risk due to neglect, abuse, or family crises. These services include investigation of reports, providing support to families, and when necessary, placing children in foster care or adoptive homes. The goal is to protect children while working to strengthen families, help parents improve their caregiving, and ultimately promote a safe and nurturing environment for all children.
