Make plans to attend a DHS Child Welfare Action Plan Community Forum in January or February.
You are invited to provide input to the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) on Oregon's child safety system. DHS would like to hear directly from the people and communities it serves around child safety.
The community forum will include:
* Pre-forum session for current or former foster youth
* Caregiver networking
* Updates from DHS leadership
* In-depth roundtable discussions to provide solutions to child safety barriers
* Opportunity to network and ask questions of DHS leadership and staff
Your participation is extremely valuable to us as we move forward, so make plans to attend a meeting in your local area!
