Every child deserves a safe, loving, permanent home.
The Department of Human Services works in partnership with many others to support families based on their cultures and individual needs and strengths. Our responsibility is to ensure that children and families in crisis receive the services they need quickly and close to home to enable them to lead safe, healthy and productive lives in Minnesota. While much of Children's Services work focuses on child protection issues, including Family Preservation Services , and Crisis Nurseries, we also work with others to ensure children receive the full breadth of services they need from infancy to adulthood.
