When necessary, we provide services to ensure the safety of a child in a stable family or out-of-home placement. In cases of out-of-home placement, we work with court oversight to achieve permanency through reunification, guardianship or adoption. DCS is a forward-looking agency. We will remain alert to current challenges without forsaking optimism for a brighter future. This agency is marked by industriousness, enthusiasm and a passion to serve children and families in a way that overpowers those who do children harm. Our confidence, competence, integrity, and team spirit will influence skeptics to choose to be part of creative solutions that empower all.Our goal is to make Arizona the safest place in the country for children to grow and thrive.
