Families often come in contact with DCFS because they need help. Parenting is tough, but it doesn’t have to be tough on children. The best way to prevent DCFS involvement or to shorten the time a case is open is to reach out for the assistance you need.
DCFS operates with three main goals in mind for the children under our care: Safety, Well-Being and Permanency. We are committed to ensuring that all children have access to loving and safe homes, and that families have what they need to help their children thrive.
