In our seventh episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Deborah Shropshire, OKDHS’ Child Welfare Services (CWS) Director, and Patrick Klein, who retired as the OKDHS Adult and Family Services (AFS) Director after 31 years with OKDHS.

Dr. Shropshire and Patrick discuss the collaborative ways our agency works across programs and communities to meet families where they are and ensure they 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! https://www.ourokdhs.org/s/annual-report-2021/landing-page-home
