Prevention & the Child Protection Professional: Implementing Effective Child Abuse Prevention Programs

Prevention and the Child Protection Professional
Implementing Effective Child Abuse Prevention Programs

This national conference is designed for child abuse prosecutors, investigators faith community leaders, teachers, medical/mental health providers, service providers, students and other child protection professionals. This three-day course will assist professionals in recognizing the factors in their communities contributing to child abuse, and expose them to numerous evidence-based prevention programs that can be implemented in their communities.

This year's topics include exploration of trauma, bullying, emotional abuse, sexual identity development, working with the media, activism and sex trafficking. And we are excited that Research Assistants, Amy Leite Bennett and Julie Atella from the Wilder Foundation, will be joining Mary Her for the presentation on developing culturally specific interventions.

This is a conference you will not want to miss!
