CPC offers two types of training for adults about child abuse identification and intervention:

• Training for professionals who work in the field of child abuse or who work with children.
• Training for adults in the community who want to learn how to identify and intervene in cases of child abuse.

Training for professionals:

CPC offers training for members of the multidisciplinary team -- law enforcement, child abuse investigators, Family Court, medial and mental health providers and other professionals who work with children about the Child Protection Network Protocol. 

This essential training includes the protocol for referring children to CPC as well as child abuse identification and intervention. These trainings, which are conducted throughout the year by CPC staff, are available at no cost.  For information about training for professionals contact CPC at 8126-778-8000 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
