DHS Staff with Commissioners

Lanie Meyers Mireles, Director of the Prowers County Department of Human Services, and Courtney Holt-Rogers, DHS Child Welfare Manager, were joined with members of Human Services as the proclamation for Child Abuse Prevention Month for April was read by the commissioners. The proclamation read in part, “We must come together as partners so that the voices of our children are heard by all and we are as a community aware of child maltreatment prevention and working to extend a helping hand to children and families in need.”
