Engage with Child & Family Services (CFS)

Family playing outside

At Olmsted County Child and Family Services, community voices matter. We’re dedicated to partnering with families and local organizations to build services that truly support children and families.

What we’re hearing from families

In 2025, we invited families to share their experiences through a survey. The feedback highlighted what’s working well — especially strong, respectful relationships with our staff and positive outcomes like improved stability and family connections. Families also told us they feel their cultural backgrounds and strengths are honored, which builds trust and healing.

At the same time, we heard where we can do better. Clearer communication, easier access to services, and more tailored support in areas like mental health and parenting are top priorities. This feedback guides how we improve training, coordinate care, and design programs.

Ways to engage 

  • Connect with our team at community forums to share your ideas and experiences.
  • Partner with us through schools, nonprofits, and cultural groups to strengthen support for families.
