CONFERENCE INFORMATIONFriday Friday, May 11, 2012
Sponsored By University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health In Collaboration with American Family Children’s Hospital - Child Health Advocacy Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin - Child Advocacy & Protection Services Program Dane County District Attorney’s Office Wisconsin Department of Justice - Wisconsin Children’s Justice Act; Wisconsin’s Victims of Crime Act Planning Committee Barbara Anderson, MS |
According to the Child Maltreatment 2009 report by the US Department of Health and Human Services, an estimated 763,000 children were found to be victims and of child abuse and neglect more than one time. Of those 78.3% were victims of neglect. In fact, the ACYF reports that neglect is actually the most fatal form of child abuse. However neglect often goes unrecognized or under-reported.
Conference faculty will dispel the myth that child neglect is a “lesser” form of child abuse through evidence-based discussions of the neuropsychological and physical affects of child neglect. Building on this knowledge, learners, will explore the application of multidisciplinary teamwork to address the detection, reporting and when necessary prosecution of child neglect cases through hands-on, case-based activities.
