My Nonprofit Reviews

Because of COVID-19 I received CPS Mediation training with Montgomery County DRC via video conferencing. The staff, under DRC Director Elaine Roberts, provided a flawless training program that involved coordination of many speakers from the CPS community. The training began with a short history of Child Protection in America which provided a strong reminder that the primary function of CPS is the protection of children. Speakers included Charlsie Moore who has an incredible and impressive history of CPS mediations over more than 18 years with Montgomery County DRC. Speakers during the entire training program included CPS attorneys, workers and supervisors, CASA volunteers and supervisors and judges from the 410th and 418th County and District Courts. Training attendees were able to download all of the training materials which are literally a treasure trove of CPS guidance that will be of incredible assistance to those of us who will be working in the CPS mediation field.
Mention must also be made of Amber Gong, MCDRC Volunteer Coordinator, who guided all the trainees through the process of transitioning from the originally planned onsite mediation training to the video conferencing mediation training. All in all, the entire CPS mediation training was an incredible example of the professionalism and dedication of the entire MCDRC organization.
