Child Welfare Services Director Michael Williams joined the 111Project's 1Night1Day Family Advocacy conference to talk about what it takes for child welfare to work in Oklahoma. His message was simple: it cannot happen without strong partnerships with faith communities.

Michael Weitzman, Policy Advisor with the Center for Faith at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, also shared his story of growing up in foster care and the fear he felt approaching his 18th birthday. Today, his work is focused on making sure no young person aging out of care has to face that alone.

We are grateful to the 111Project for bringing together the people and communities who show up for Oklahoma children every day.

That’s a wrap on PossABLE 2026: InSIGHT, our annual statewide training for Developmental Disability Services professionals!

More than 800 DDS professionals and provider partners came together in satellite locations across the state to explore how information can lead to better decisions and better outcomes for the people we serve.

From data and storytelling to person-centered planning and practical tools, the day reinforced the simple idea that progress is not just about what we measure. It is about what those numbers mean in someone’s life.

As Oklahoma Human Services Director Jeffrey Cartmell shared:

“In human services, a number is never just a number. Your work eventually reaches a person who is counting on us.”

Thank you to every member of the OKDHS team, provider, speaker and partner who brought their experience, curiosity and commitment to .

From here, the insight becomes action!
