Child Protective Services. Child Protective Services (CPS) investigates reports of abuse and neglect of children. It also provides services to children and families in their own homes, places children in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ care, provides services to help youth in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ care make the transition to adulthood, and places children in adoptive homes. CPS works with youth experiencing substance abuse, domestic violence, and abuse or neglect, and works in close collaboration on many cases with the Juvenile Probation Department. They also provide services to children who are not involved with the Juvenile Justice system, but are exhibiting behavioral issues that may lead to larger problems such as delinquency or school truancy in the future, as well as disabled youth. This project design is based on the 105 years of experience of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, which has provided mentoring to more than one million children through a network of 470 affiliates across the country. That foundation has allowed Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Paso to implement successful at-risk youth mentoring initiatives resulting in positive gains for youth in our local program. Big Brothers Big Sisters has served more than 2000 youth locally since 1999, all of whom are considered at significant risk due to personal or societal challenges. 41% of their currently enrolled youth have five or more risk factors among the following: poverty, single parent household, abuse/neglect, emotional/behavioral problems, learning disability, ADD/ADHD, teen parenting, probation, truancy, drug/alcohol use, and/or an incarcerated parent.
