United States children's services

Children’s services in the United States are a range of programs and agencies dedicated to ensuring the safety, well-being, and healthy development of children. These services include child protective services, foster care, adoption support, family preservation, and early childhood education. They work to intervene in cases of abuse or neglect, assist families in crisis, and promote positive childhood experiences. Funded primarily through federal, state, and local government, these services aim to create safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive and reach their full potential.
