Hello all.  I am a CPS worker specializing in domestic violence issues.

I would like to know if anyone out would have any research or leads on
instances where CPS has been or is coordinating with Battered Women's
Shelters where they both "share" a family.  I would also like to know if
anyone has ever heard of a specialized "unit" in CPS that only deals with
domestic violence cases.

Thanks,

Brian Ingram, MSSW
