At DHS, we believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to grow and thrive. Unfortunately, many children in Oklahoma face unimaginable challenges, including abuse, neglect, and abandonment. As a result, our state's child welfare system plays a critical role in protecting these vulnerable young lives.
Our dedicated team of social workers, investigators, and other professionals work tirelessly to identify and respond to situations where children are at risk or have already been harmed. We provide essential services such as foster care, adoption support, and mental health counseling to help these children heal and recover.
Child abuse and neglect are devastating realities that can have long-lasting effects on a child's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. The consequences of these traumatic experiences can be severe, including anxiety disorders, depression, and even increased risk of substance abuse and criminal behavior.
As a society, it is our collective responsibility to recognize the warning signs of abuse and neglect, report suspicious activity, and support those affected by providing access to vital resources and services.
At DHS, we are committed to empowering Oklahoma's children by providing a comprehensive range of services that address their unique needs. From foster care and adoption support to mental health counseling and education, our goal is to ensure that every child has access to the resources they need to thrive.
We believe that every child deserves a chance at a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. By working together as a community, we can create a brighter future for Oklahoma's children and help them overcome even the most daunting challenges.
