Programs and Initiatives

As part of our integrated system of support, our programs and initiatives are our primary connection to the people who work on behalf of children and families throughout the state. Each program and initiative plays a critical role in creating stronger systems of care in the areas of early childhood, preventing child abuse and the need for entry into the child welfare system, promoting school success/preventing truancy, and helping at-risk youth transition to adulthood.
