Identifying and Reporting Abuse of Children and Adults-Virtual

This training is meant to teach mandated reporters how to recognize the signs of abuse in children, and how to make a suspected child abuse report. Participants will also learn to recognize the signs of abuse in other vulnerable populations, such as transition aged youth (TAY). Reporters will learn the prevalence of child abuse locally and nationally, and the history of child welfare in the United States. Mandated Reporter training is critical in supporting foster youth by ensuring that all individuals working with children are equipped to identify and respond to signs of abuse, neglect, or maltreatment. 

PLEASE NOTE: Redwood Community Services, Inc. is able to provide these trainings in partnership with Mendocino County Health and Human Services/ Family and Children’s Services, through Title IV-E funding. These workshops are FREE ONLY for eligible helping professionals from Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, and Tuolumne Counties that work with youth in/or who are at high risk of entering the foster care system. PLEASE DO NOT register if you are outside of these service regions.
