Making the Most of Your CFT Meeting in a CPS Case

Child and Family Team (CFT) meetings bring together parents, social workers, service providers, and caregivers. Preparation includes reviewing your case plan, documenting progress, and identifying concerns. Stay calm and focused during discussions to avoid misunderstandings. Avoid blaming others or reacting emotionally. CFT meetings help shape services, visitation, and reunification planning. Strong participation shows commitment. Legal guidance helps you prepare effectively.
