Doing Business with Dane County Department of Human Services Department of Human Services Vision Dane County will offer an environment where children are born healthy, grow up safe, develop normally to their individual potential, enter and attend school ready to learn, succeed in school, and become contributing members of society.
Families have the primary responsibility for providing positive nurturing environments for children.
The broader community will support families in this responsibility. Adults will be able to participate successfully in their families, the workforce, community and civic life. People with long term support needs due to age or disabilities will be supported with dignity and respect, and given choices to live in their homes in the community. Persons with short-term treatment needs will have access to services that enable their return to health and independence. Dane County Human Services will collaborate with government and private community partners to strengthen families' and individuals' opportunity to succeed.
