Demetrius Starling, who has more than 20 years of experience protecting children and assisting their families, has been named the new executive director of the Children's Services Agency, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
Beginning May 2, Starling will lead the agency that oversees the state's child welfare system, including Children's Protective Services, the foster care system that serves approximately 11,500 children, adoption services and juvenile justice programs.
"Demetrius Starling knows what it takes to protect the well-being of children by helping them stay with their families when it is safe and finding the most family-like settings for them when it's unsafe for them to return home," said Elizabeth Hertel, MDHHS director.
Starling began working for what is now MDHHS in 2000, staring his career as a Children's Protective Services specialist in Wayne County.
Currently he is the Children's Services Agency in-home services bureau administrator over prevention, preservation and protection programs.
Before that he was MDHHS county director for Sanilac and St Clair counties, local services division administrator in Genesee County, and a manager in Macomb, Wayne, Monroe and Lenawee counties.
Starling also serves on the statewide Children's Services Agency Anti-Racism Transformation Team and Court Improvement Process Team and as its representative for the Michigan Action Plan for Father Involvement Advisory Group.
