Finding F2.2
DCFS, in partnership with other government agencies, has made great progress in improving the foster care system. Many organizations involved in child welfare, including DCFS, have taken a critical look at foster care. Several initiatives came out of these reviews resulting in significant improvements in the care and support of children, families and workers in foster care. The Foster Care Committee commends the leadership of DCFS, DMH, and other government agencies in their efforts to provide more and better ways of keeping children safe at home and helping children and families in foster care heal and thrive.
