We know that every parent wants to do the best they can for their child and we also understand that being a parent is hard work. Every parent has strengths and challenges that they face. Child Protective Services (CPS) is here to work with you to build on your family’s strengths, and get you what you need to overcome challenges.
We understand that being visited by CPS can be overwhelming. It is normal to feel upset or confused. This workshop will tell you how the CPS process works.
This training will cover information including:
• What is CPS.
• What is the job of a CPS worker.
• What steps does a CPS worker follow.
• How can CPS help your family.
• What is Central Registry.
• Important court hearings you may need to attend.
• Answers to common questions and different words you might hear from a CPS worker.
• Your rights and responsibilities as a parent.
• Where else you can get help.
Knowledge is Power will give parents tools to advocate for themselves and for their children. This training will also assist community members in supporting families.
