If you are a Robeson County family and dealing with DSS-CPS, come to this meeting to learn more about the agency, the child welfare process, and discover options and tips to address your cases. You or a relative must have an open case currently or had a case in the past to attend (open case attendants get preference in attendance). PALs will be doing a live video from this page for the speaking part and cut out the questions/comments for the privacy of the attendants.
If you plan on attending, RSVP ASAP! Spots are limited and will fill up quickly.
Also, attendants will get the best out of this meeting if they come prepared with organized case files.
This checklist helps attendants organize case files before attending. Best to print it out and have on hand:
