Did you know firearm injuries are the number one cause of death among children and adolescents in the U.S? This is true among Michigan children and adolescents between 1 and 19 years of age.

We at Family & Children Services partner with local agencies working to prevent gun violence because we envision a community where children are cared for and protected. In Michigan we have a safe storage law that requires guns to be safely stored when minors are in the home. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is working with the Michigan State Police to distribute gun locks. Visit the website to sign up for your free gun safety kit: https://bit.ly/3FStXAf

Foster Care Licensing Specialist Rochelle Brown attended the Breakfast Table in Calhoun County this past weekend with her kids Cameron and JaNiece, as well as her neice Daliyah! The family talked about what it takes to be a foster parent, how to get licensed, and what we do here at the Agency. Based on the inability to say no to these adorable faces, we assume we'll be enjoying a slew of new foster parents soon! Thanks Rochelle!
