Child Abuse & Neglect

American Indians and Alaska Natives experience some of the highest rates of substance use and mental disorders compared to other U.S. racial or ethnic groups. As a result, incidents of child abuse and neglect continue to rise. During this training, participants will learn about the intersection of substance abuse and child abuse/neglect through presentation, activities, and discussions. Particular emphasis will be around the risks to children, how to identify these risks, and how these cases impact disciplines.
