Oakland Family Services, a not-for-profit, accredited child welfare agency and member of the Association of Accredited Child & Family Agencies (AACFA), is celebrating its 100-year anniversary of providing critical services to Michigan's children and families.
For the last century, Oakland Family Services has helped ensure children have safe and loving homes free from abuse and neglect. The agency also helps children cope with trauma, mental health issues and substance abuse, and provides foster care and adoption services, education and child development programs and treatment.
"We are truly thankful for the communities, families and people across Michigan for their support for the past 100 years," said Jaimie Clayton, president and CEO of Oakland Family Services. "For 100 years, we have taken great pride in our mission to serve and provide critical resources to Michigan children and families and we will continue to advocate for those in need for the next 100 years in partnership with the amazing and dedicated not-for-profit, accredited child welfare agencies that make up AACFA."
Oakland Family Services is a valued member of AACFA, and it advocates for fair and adequate funding for Michigan's not-for-profit, accredited child welfare agencies. Research shows investing in child and family care on the front end pays huge dividends for Michigan's children, families and taxpayers.
"Oakland Family Services is an important part of Michigan's child welfare system, and on behalf of AACFA, I congratulate them for 100 years of providing services for Michigan's children and families," said Judith Fischer, president of AACFA. "Oakland Family Services has a deep expertise and a proven track record in the area of child welfare and has demonstrated its deep commitment to supporting children and families in need for 100 years."
