In our sixth episode, we are speaking with Dr. Deborah Shropshire, OKDHS’ Child Welfare Services (CWS) Director, and Patrick Klein, who recently retired as the OKDHS Adult and Family Services (AFS) Director after 31 years with OKDHS. Our conversation with Dr. Deb and Patrick will continue with the future release of our seventh Waypoint episode, so stay tuned for even more.
CWS and AFS are the agency’s two largest divisions, and the heroes serving in these program areas go ‘upstream’ by working together to develop strategies and remove barriers to ensure families have what they need to be successful. In addition to the conversation featured in this episode, you can learn more about CWS and AFS in the recently released FY21 OKDHS Annual Report!
