May Edition

All Children in Dawson County will have the opportunity to become successful, contributing, productive and

self-sustaining adults.

May is Foster Care Awareness Month.

Families involved with the child welfare system experience a wide array of needs that can challenge their ability to provide for their children’s well-being. We recognize the important role community partners play in meeting those needs through partnerships with local agencies and child welfare professionals.
