A Voice For the Most Vulnerable: Child Victims

This presentation will dive into risk factors, misconceptions, and varying definitions of child maltreatment. Over the past 3 months, I have worked alongside investigators at DCFS, where I have aided in the process of investigating cases and providing services to victims and families. I hope that by the end of this presentation, people will have a deeper understanding of successful intervention methods and recognize the importance of reporting suspected abuse. Finally, I hope to inspire everyone to reflect on their current outlook on this topic and ensure that their actions and beliefs do not contribute to society's tolerance of abuse.
