Childhood Neglect Prevention: Exploring the Basics

Reports of childhood neglect account for 75% of all calls to the Child Abuse Hotline, and yet this topic is
often misunderstood and hard to define. Childhood neglect can impact physical and mental health and
lead to long-term problems, so join us as we learn more about this important topic. Participants will learn
about the different types of neglect, risk factors and consequences of neglect on children, as well as
protective factors and effective prevention strategies.

This training has been offered to our network before and is a basic/beginner level training. If you are a seasoned CASA, it may be repetitive for you.

Our impact this year has changed our community!
