Child welfare services are government and community programs designed to protect the well-being of children. These services aim to ensure that children grow up in safe, nurturing environments. They may involve assessing family situations, providing support to struggling families, and intervening when a child's safety is at risk. When necessary, child welfare services can facilitate foster care or adoption through agencies. They work closely with families, social workers, and legal systems to promote the best interests of children. The ultimate goal is to support families and ensure that every child has the opportunity for a healthy and happy life.
