As the first Federal agency dedicated to the welfare of children, the Children’s Bureau has a long history of addressing some of the Nation’s most pressing social issues. These issues have evolved over the years, from an early emphasis on infant mortality, dependent children, and child labor to today’s focus on child abuse and neglect prevention, foster care, and adoption services. However, the values that informed our early work, and many of the core methods used to conduct it—including collaboration, assistance to States and Tribes, research and data collection, public awareness campaigns, and leadership development—still endure.

La Oficina de la Infancia, como primer organismo federal dedicado al bienestar de los niños, lleva mucho tiempo ocupándose de algunos de los problemas sociales más apremiantes que enfrenta Estados Unidos. Estos problemas han cambiado con el transcurrir de los años. En sus inicios, la oficina se ocupaba de temas como mortalidad infantil, hijos dependientes y trabajo infantil, mientras que ahora las preocupaciones principales son maltrato infantil y prevención del abandono, cuidado de crianza temporal y servicios de adopción. No obstante, los valores que subyacían a nuestro trabajo en sus primeras etapas y muchos de los métodos fundamentales a los que recurríamos para materializarlos aún perduran; incluidos cooperación, ayuda a estados y tribus, investigación y recopilación de información, campañas de sensibilización social y formación de líderes.
