The involvement of Child Protective Services (CPS) can lead to a lot of feelings and thoughts. You may have beliefs and questions about the role and goals of CPS or expectations about what will happen next. This resource is here to help support you with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate your situation.
This resource was developed in partnership with individuals who have had personal experience as a natural support, just like you. They provided valuable information by highlighting what was most important to know when helping loved ones as well as guidance on how you can take care of yourself throughout this process.
You are welcome to review all of the chapters below if you wish; however, you may also skip around to review topics you feel are most relevant to you. Thank you for your time, effort, and the support you provide for the child and family.
