The Office of the Child Advocate made its community debut at the celebration of Child Abuse Prevention Month at a Blue Rocks game sponsored by DSCYF and it community partners. The OCA, assisted by DFS, sponsored a contest for foster children to design the logo for this new state agency. Kristen C., and eleven-year old who had been recently adopted with her siblings after numerous years of DFS involvement, won the contest. Her logo is on most published materials out of the OCA. The OCA was both proud and honored to have the children we serve participate in this event. OCA, DFS and the community partners honored Kristen C. and the DFS outstanding social workers at this well-attended event. The creation of the OCA logo led to the development of the recurring message of "Lend a Helping Hand" to our children.
