The Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services, established in 2016, is the state's primary child welfare agency, separate from the Department of Human Services. With increased state funding, the agency has expanded its infrastructure and social worker staff to better serve children and families statewide.
Operating as an independent agency with the commissioner as a member of the Governor's cabinet, MDCPS focuses on meeting the needs of vulnerable children and families through a range of services and programs aimed at ensuring their safety and well-being.
