Even in this in incredibly chaotic and unprecedented time- when everyone’s natural inclination is to hunker down and take care of themselves and those in their most immediate circle, Every Child hasn’t hesitated to jump in and come alongside Child Welfare statewide to help ensure needs are met. We appreciate you!ODHS Social Worker
