MS Department of Child Protective Services

The Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services (MDCPS) is dedicated to safeguarding the well-being of children across the state, working tirelessly to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe, nurturing, and stable environment. At MDCPS, we are driven by our mission to protect children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, while supporting families and communities through compassionate services and resources. 

Through our programs and partnerships, MDCPS provides critical interventions, support, and education to help families thrive and to address the unique needs of children in foster care. Our team of caring professionals, social workers, and advocates work closely with community organizations, government agencies, and local partners to foster environments where children can thrive and reach their fullest potential. 

At the heart of MDCPS is a commitment to the children and families we serve, fostering a culture of respect, resilience, and positive change. We envision a future where every Mississippi child grows up safe, supported, and loved, and we are honored to play a part in making that vision a reality.
