Whether you are visiting us for the first time or already familiar with our agency, I’m grateful you’re here. Our mission is clear: to ensure every child and family in Delaware has access to compassionate, high-quality behavioral health care that supports their well-being. We meet children and families where they are, with care grounded in evidence-based practices.

As we have done for more than 70 years, DGS continues to grow in meaningful ways. Over the last two years, we have expanded services, strengthened crisis response, and introduced new programs to meet the evolving needs of children and youth across the state. Each step reflects our commitment and connection to the communities we serve.

This progress is made possible by our dedicated staff and the support of our partners. As we continue to grow, we remain grounded in the values that have guided DGS from the start: compassion, respect, and a strong belief in the potential of every child.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our work. I invite you to explore our programs, connect with our team, and join us in ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and understood.
