Child Protective Services (CPS) is a government agency responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of children. They investigate reports of child abuse or neglect and work to protect children from harmful situations. If necessary, CPS can remove children from unsafe environments and provide support to families to help them improve their circumstances. CPS also offers various services, including counseling, parenting classes, and resources for families in need. Their goal is to keep families together whenever possible while ensuring that children grow up in safe and nurturing environments. They collaborate with other organizations to provide comprehensive support.
