Within the Colorado Department of Human Services, the Office of Children, Youth and Families (OCYF) is responsible for policy development, service provision, and coordination of efforts to improve the lives of Colorado citizens by supporting supportive, quality and effective services.

These services are provided to those that seek and need assistance from the Child Welfare Division, the Division of Youth Corrections and the Domestic Violence Program.  These supports are facilitated through partnerships with families, providers and local communities to ensure that children and families have safe, healthy and stable environments; and that protection and public safety are paramount in addressing the needs of juvenile offenders.
