Today CarePortal was launched in Madison County! In order to maintain social distancing, the celebration event was held over Zoom. It was wonderful to have over 70 child-welfare professionals, church leaders, community members, and child-welfare advocates join the celebration!!

We are very lucky to have such a giving, caring Director here at DCS, who has been picking up shifts whenever she has time to help out in her previous profession. Thank you, @tstigdon, for all that you do!

This is an important message to share. Just because calls are down does not mean children are safe or are not being harmed. If you suspect abuse or neglect, please call our hotline at 1-800-800-5556. @GovHolcomb @tstigdon wibc.com/news/coronavir…

Children are watching how we respond to the events happening around us. Let them see us in prayer and action for justice.
