From the CCDJFS Director’s Corner

The following is the first in a series about the complexities of child welfare and the work being done by the outstanding staff at the Champaign County Department of Job and Family Services (CCDJFS). Our series will include blogs as well as videos. We will be highlighting the perks and responsibilities of working in child welfare, testimonials, and so much more.

The protective services team at CCDJFS has over 100 combined years of experience in child protective services.
