The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) works diligently to improve the lives of young people that come into our care and prevent additional trauma. Gov.

January is National Mentoring Month, a time to celebrate mentors and the incredible impact they have on youth, while also raising awareness for the mentoring gap in the U.S.

The Child Health and Education Tracking (CHET) process and report are designed to help caregivers and caseworkers meet the needs of children and youth as they come into care. The CHET process can identify areas of need or possible concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
