Child Welfare
Child welfare is a continuum of services designed to give families the support to keep their children safe. Each state’s child welfare agency coordinates services to keep children safe from child abuse and neglect. Services commonly include parenting classes, in-home family preservation services, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and foster care and other out-of-home care options for when children cannot safely stay at home.
