This training is designed to provide medical and behavioral health providers a standardized response to suspected child maltreatment in the state of Colorado.
Training is mandatory for members of the network but is open to providers outside of the network who are interested in learning more about this new initiative.
Why join the CARE Network?
THE PROBLEM
Every year in Colorado, thousands of children are impacted by maltreatment.
Expertise to conduct medical evaluations and behavioral health screenings in suspected cases of child maltreatment is extremely limited.
When children do not have access to specialized services, they do not receive the medical care they need.
Any child impacted by physical abuse, sexual abuse or neglect should have access to quality care.
THE SOLUTION
Increase capacity throughout the state by establishing a standardized and coordinated medical
response to suspected cases of child maltreatment.
Build a designated network of providers around the state who are committed to providing quality
care for children within their communities.
Ensure support for network providers through education and training opportunities, mentorship,
financial reimbursement and other resources.
The healthcare provider is an important partner to other systems working to ensure child safety and family well-being.
HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION?
When child maltreatment is suspected, healthcare professionals play a crucial role in recognition and treatment, family support and community collaboration.
