Less is More:Minimal Facts for Discoverers

Presenter: Kristen Clark

Coordinator for Governor's Task Force on Justice for Abused Children

Child maltreatment and sexual abuse is disturbing, complex, and extremely difficult to investigate. How professionals react and respond to a suspected child abuse allegation will have a direct impact on the child’s recovery from the traumatic act and on the integrity of the subsequent investigation. This training is designed to give school and childcare personnel, along with medical, mental health, and other therapeutic providers the tools needed to optimally respond when a child discloses or indicates that he or she may be a victim of abuse or maltreatment. The training will include handouts that can be used by the professionals in their respective agency/setting.
