DCYF is investing funding in fatherhood support programs for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) fathers and father figures. The intent of this initiative is to build capacity to support fathers, leading to increasing family strengths, enhancing child development, and reducing the likelihood of abuse and neglect. 

A podcast series focused on young people in juvenile rehabilitation, the programs they participate in, and the staff that support them was launched last week by The Bridge Music Project in partnership with the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF).

DCYF published and distributed the Early Care and Education Newsletter | November 2024 (English | Español | Soomaali) on Thursday, Oct. 31.
