Did you know that in September 13th-17th is #ChildWelfareWorkerAppreciation Week! We recognize our Child Welfare Professionals' ability to positively influence a life's trajectory through the heart, the head, and the hands. Here are some stories and quotes from some of our local #ChildWelfareHeroes!
Without conditions or reservations, I wholeheartedly endorse Heartland for Children as the Community Based Organization (CBC) serving abused and neglected children in Highlands, Hardee and Polk Counties.
The child welfare system has improved dramatically under the outstanding leadership of Heartland for Children. For nearly a decade, Heartland for Children has been delivering high-quality services to children and families in our communities. In fact, the system of care that was designed to protect child, our most precious resource, was not always responsive, nor highly respected, before Heartland for Children was selected as the first CBC, covering Highlands, Hardee and Polk counties.
