About Children's Bureau

Children's Bureau, Inc. is a well established social service agency working on behalf of abused and
neglected children and families in Indiana. We act as an advocate for all children and families focusing
on those that are most endangered. We provide a full array of community based prevention, family
preservation and intervention services and work in partnership with the Department of Child Services
and various other community organizations statewide. Currently, we provide child and family social
services in 39 counties throughout Indiana to more than 26,000 annually.

As long as there are human beings who weep for others' children, heroes in my world, like the ones who work for or support the Children's Bureau or agencies like ours, there is hope. There is hope that the sadness for some children will diminish, the pain will be alleviated, that health of body and spirit will be restored.
Children's Bureau, Inc. is a private, nonprofit child and family services agency. It is licensed by the State of Indiana, accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children, Inc. and is an accredited member of the Indiana Youth Services Association and a founding member of the Child Welfare League of America.
Children's Bureau makes agency services available and affordable to all families and children. Agency programs are funded in part by the United Way of Central Indiana, the Indiana Department of Family and Social Services Administration, individuals, and other private and public foundations and organizations.
Children's Bureau offers all services without regard to race, religion, nationality, economic status, sex or handicap and is an equal opportunity employer.
