Lecture Description:

This NYSED-approved workshop, tailored for New York State professionals, addresses recent amendments to Social Services Law §413. It fulfills state requirements for mandated reporters on child abuse and maltreatment, emphasizing the importance of timely reporting to the State Central Register (SCR) when harm to a child is suspected. Additionally, the course highlights the significance of recognizing situations where community-based services may better serve families, guiding decision-making with a commitment to reduce biases. Understanding the impact of trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is crucial for comprehensive assessment, and the course explores protective factors, such as parental resilience and social support networks, to mitigate the risk of abuse or maltreatment.
