In anticipation of the July 1, 2024, launch of the revised Washington State Indian Child Welfare (ICW) policies and procedures, DCYF will be piloting a newly developed ICW Policy Roll Out training in mid-April. The pilot training will be available to existing ICW units in regions 1, 4, and 5.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month! 

DCYF is joining with other states and organizations across the U.S. to celebrate and recognize the extraordinary support that parents, caregivers, and community members provide to children everyday to help children succeed.

Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) providers will now receive payment for the true dollar value of services they provide to families thanks to a bill signed by Gov. Jay Inslee today.

DCYF has various newsletters. Each newsletter is created to share important information, resources, services, and positive stories on the topics that matter to you, those we serve, and community partners in Washington state.
