Ep 44. Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention

In the US, at least 1 in 7 children experience child abuse or neglect annually. Children with disabilities are at least three times more likely to be abused or neglected than their peers without disabilities, and they are more likely to be seriously injured or harmed by maltreatment. This episode is about child abuse prevention, resources, and support. Joining the conversation is Sallye Longshore, Director, Alabama Department of Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention, The Children’s Trust Fund and Stephanie Wright, Director of Family Services, UCP of Huntsville and Tennessee Valley, Inc.  The E.WE Foundation is a 501c3 healthcare advocacy organization and sponsor of the Being Rare Podcast.
