The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has revealed its Keep Kids Safe Action Agenda.
The agenda outlines over 20 protocols and policies aimed at improving the safety and well-being of children across the state of Michigan. Developed over four years, the action agenda relies on best practices in child welfare and will evolve as new research and data is released.
The MDHHS is committed to the nation’s highest standards in child welfare, with the action agenda separated into five categories: prevention, intervention, stability, wellness, and workforce.
MDHHS Director Elizabeth Hertel stressed the importance of protecting and serving children and families, with the goal of strengthening the safety net for all Michigan children. The agenda aims to keep kids safe from harm and will incorporate updates to the department’s work.
