What can Child Protective Services do?
Child Protective Services recognizes that children need to be with their own parents. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to place a child who has been abused in alternate care. But more often than not, we work to change the family system through interventions such as counseling, parenting programs, child care and support from volunteers who relate well to the family to enable a child to remain safely in his or her own home. Parents and children can receive support and guidance from their CPS social worker, from programs that use specially-trained volunteers, and from public and private resources.
