Child Abuse Prevention: What to Know, What to Look For, and What to Do

On this episode of Young & Healthy, we explore the topic of Child Abuse Prevention. Experts from our Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children introduce listeners to information that can help grown ups be more aware of what can lead to abuse, how to be alert to signs that a child may be experiencing abuse, and how to get help. They also tell us about protective factors for children and how to help kids overcome adverse childhood experiences and build resilience that will benefit them through their whole lives.
