A CPS investigation can be overwhelming, confusing, and deeply stressful for parents. At Carolina Parent Defenders (CPD), we provide early defense services to help parents navigate this unfamiliar process with confidence and support—before a court case is even filed.
We act as an intermediary between parents and CPS, helping to reduce stress and ensuring that parents are treated fairly throughout the investigation. Our team helps parents understand their rights, protecting them from unnecessary intrusion while working toward the best possible outcome for their families.
We assist parents in preparing for CPS interviews, responding to safety plans, and making informed decisions about their case. Additionally, our team can connect families with available community-based resources to address basic needs such as food or housing insecurity.
