"Heidi has pushed me to reach out for more duties within our department: training, mentoring others, and having me do special projects. I appreciate her honest and candid feedback and constructive criticism to push me up to the next level. Because of her attitude, dedication, and hard work, I enjoy coming to work for the background check unit. Thanks to you, Heidi!" -Heidi's nominator Heidi Gaha is in our mentor spotlight today and works as a Background Check Unit Supervisor for the Indiana Department of Child Services.

Summertime is the perfect season to enjoy the outdoors, but make sure you watch out for mosquitos and ticks! These bugs may seem small and harmless, but they can carry bacteria, parasites or viruses that cause disease. #DCSFunINtheSun #SummerSafety
