Our mission circle is to protect children, strengthen families and promote adult self-sufficiency

DCF is dedicated to supporting families from the very beginning by providing essential supports to promote a safe and nurturing environment for all children. The resources in place are centered around individuals’ and families’ strengths to encourage independence as we believe that individuals know their lives and their families best.

Working with our surrounding community partners, DCF is able to further promote safety and self-sufficiency by connecting necessary resources to families and individuals that need them. This collaboration encourages our beliefs of improving the overall physical, emotional and social well-being of all Kansans.

Ultimately DCF strives to create a society in which every child, every adult and every family has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
