Colorado is committed to reimagining its child welfare system to better serve children, families, and communities. This effort brings together diverse voices to identify improvements and implement meaningful changes.
Our Vision
A child welfare system where every child is safe, every family is supported, and every community has the resources it needs to thrive. We envision a system that is equitable, responsive, and focused on prevention rather than crisis intervention.
Key Focus Areas
Prevention First
Shifting resources toward preventing abuse and neglect before it occurs, rather than only responding after the fact.
Family Voice
Centering the experiences and perspectives of families who have been involved in the child welfare system.
Racial Equity
Addressing disproportionality and disparities in the child welfare system to ensure equitable outcomes for all families.
Community Partnerships
Building stronger partnerships between child welfare agencies and community organizations.
How You Can Participate
We welcome input from all community members. Share your ideas, attend community forums, or contact us to learn about opportunities to get involved in reimagining Colorado's child welfare system.
