Engagement is critical to our success. Engagement with the children in our care, with the families we serve, with the staff doing the work, and with the Arizona community is at the center of what we do.

Engagement is Essential

For us, engagement means listening and being responsive to earn the trust of all we encounter. Through engagement, we make discoveries together and build upon individual strengths. We involve families in decisions and help them find family-specific solutions.

Our Values Unite Us

At DCS, we unite daily through the values of safety, compassion, change, accountability, advocacy, family, engagement, equity and teaming to strengthen each other while simultaneously servicing DCS's important mission. We live these values within the walls of our offices, out in the field and each time we come in contact with a family or child in need of our help.
