Welcome to the website of the Governor's Commission for Children and Families

The Commission was created to assist, advise, and make recommendations for actions to the Governor and Children's Cabinet on various cross system issues, and one of the priority areas was to help improve the delivery of state and local services to children and families.

The purpose of this site is to provide helpful information, website links, and resource networks for families on accessing health and human services, advocacy resources, and parent guides.
