Abstract
Many families involved with child protective agencies have recurring cases with similar agencies. Past events such has childhood trauma and generational trauma have created behaviors that families can not break. The cycle of involvement should not continue over many years, but sadly most of the same families continue involvement with CPS. It will help break this pattern of recurring engagement with agencies if we address the problems of childhood trauma and generational trauma of our clients. This study will explore current mothers involved with CPS in March 2022 looking at race, age, number of children, past involvement as a parent, past involvement as a child, and ACE’s scores of the mothers. Data is still being collected at this time but the correlation between childhood traumas and current involvement. By understanding these two things it will better help us change the outcomes for these families.
