Child Protective Services Community Partners Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Indirect Program Expenses - includes Caseworker Wellness programming, Collaborative Space and Night Response Unit. Community Partners of Dallas' programs and services reach children through their state-appointed caseworker, a role that carries immense responsibility for the immediate and long-term safety and wellbeing of children in their care. The connection between these caseworkers and the children we serve is essential to positive outcomes for children navigating the child welfare system. CPD's Caseworker Wellness program is designed to support the stability that leads to better outcomes for kids by nurturing the personal wellbeing of frontline CPI, CPS and Empower caseworkers. The program offers opportunities for self-care, appreciation and morale building events along with professional development and leadership training for supervisors. This care and recognition are especially critical amid staffing shortages and ongoing system changes that place significant strain on the workforce. When children are removed from danger in the middle of the night, on weekends or holidays, our Night Response Support Program ensures they are welcomed into a space designed entirely around their needs. Following the most traumatizing moments in their young lives, children need safety and security while their caseworkers determine next steps. Staffed by DFPS, caseworkers and children in the Night Response unit have access to kid-friendly meals, shower and laundry facilities, a place to rest and all resources stocked in the Rainbow Room.
